EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the 19th century Dutch tulip mania era, where the obsession with flowers reached an all-time high. The image features two exquisite varieties of Crocus: Crocus Vernus, also known as Dutch Crocus, on the left, and Crocus Sativus, or Saffron Crocus, on the right. Crocus Vernus, with its vibrant purple hue, is a common sight in the Netherlands during early spring, blooming before the tulips and daffodils. Its simple yet elegant beauty has long been celebrated in Dutch culture, often depicted in paintings and literature. Crocus Sativus, however, holds a unique significance in history due to its precious saffron threads. This crocus variety is native to Greece and was highly valued in ancient civilizations for its distinctive aroma and flavor. The saffron threads are derived from the stigmas of the flower, which are painstakingly hand-picked and dried, making saffron one of the most expensive spices in the world. The historical context of this photograph print adds an extra layer of intrigue to the image. The 19th century was a time of great prosperity for the Dutch bulb industry, with tulips and other bulbs being exported to various parts of Europe and beyond. The obsession with these flowers led to the infamous tulip mania, where the price of a single bulb could reach an astronomical sum. This photograph print serves as a beautiful reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of these humble flowers, Crocus Vernus and Crocus Sativus. Their timeless beauty continues to inspire artists, gardeners, and historians alike, making them cherished symbols of the natural world.
