EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1900 showcases the delicate beauty of nature's bounty in Cornwall. Titled "Bunching Scilly Whites, Isles of Scilly" it transports us to a glass house on these idyllic islands, where rows upon rows of vibrant daffodils are meticulously arranged for the London market. The image captures the essence of traditional flower farming in this picturesque region. The photographer remains unknown, but their skill is evident as they expertly frame the scene. Each narcissus stands tall and proud, their pristine petals glowing against the backdrop of lush green foliage. Cornwall has long been renowned for its stunning landscapes and rich agricultural heritage, with flowers playing an integral role in its economy. This particular variety, known as Scilly Whites, holds a special place in local hearts due to its enchanting fragrance and ethereal appearance. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping into that glass house - feeling the warmth radiating through panes while being enveloped by the sweet scent that fills the air. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when manual labor was required to cultivate such natural wonders. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this photograph not only documents a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to generations past who dedicated themselves to nurturing these exquisite blooms.
