EDITORS COMMENTS
Calendula Officinalis, or Marigold Personified, 1906 This enchanting illustration, titled "Calendula Officinalis, or Marigold Personified," transports us back to the early 20th century and invites us to explore the rich history of the humble marigold. The illustration, created in 1906, personifies the Calendula Officinalis, or common marigold, as a graceful and ethereal figure. Marigolds have been cultivated for their vibrant colors and healing properties for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians used marigolds in their burial rituals, while the Aztecs believed that the flowers represented the sun and were sacred. In medieval Europe, marigolds were grown in gardens for their beauty and medicinal uses. The illustration captures the essence of the marigold's historical significance and its connection to nature. The flower is depicted as a lovely woman, with petals that unfurl like a delicate skirt, and a radiant golden center that represents the sun. Her outstretched arms seem to invite us to reach out and touch her, while her gentle expression conveys a sense of peace and tranquility. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate veins on the marigold's petals to the delicate folds of her gown, showcase the artist's skill and dedication to capturing the beauty of this beloved flower. The muted colors and soft shading add to the dreamlike quality of the image, transporting us to a time when the natural world was revered and celebrated. As we gaze at this image of Calendula Officinalis, we are reminded of the rich history and symbolism of the marigold, and the enduring connection between humans and the natural world.
