EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures the timeless beauty of a field of cornflowers, bathed in the soft light of the late 19th century. The rich, vibrant shades of blue cascade across the image, each petal a testament to nature's artistic prowess. Cornflowers, also known as Centaurea cyanus, have been cherished for their striking hues since ancient times. The history of cornflowers dates back to the Roman Empire, where they were believed to bring good fortune and ward off evil spirits. In the Middle Ages, they were used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary, and were often included in religious art and iconography. By the 1800s, cornflowers had become a popular addition to gardens and flower arrangements, their bold blue hues a welcome contrast to the more muted tones of the time. This photograph, taken around 1880, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the simple pleasures of nature were celebrated. The cornflowers, with their elegant, daisy-like blooms, stretch towards the sky, their petals unfurling in the sun. The image is a reminder of the enduring allure of these beautiful flowers, and the joy they bring to gardens and bouquets alike. The rich history of cornflowers is reflected in this stunning photograph, a testament to their timeless appeal and the beauty of nature. Whether used to brighten a garden or add a pop of color to a bouquet, cornflowers continue to captivate and inspire, their vibrant blue hues a reminder of the simple pleasures of the natural world.
