Tulip fields, North Holland, Netherlands
Originally cultivated in the Ottoman Empire (present-day Turkey), tulips were imported into Holland in the sixteenth century. When Carolus Clusius wrote the first major book on tulips in 1592, they became so popular that his garden was raided and bulbs stolen on a regular basis. As the Dutch Golden Age grew, so did this curvaceous and colorful flower. They became popular in paintings and festivals. In the mid-seventeenth century, tulips were so popular that they created the first economic bubble, known as Tulip Mania (tulipomania). As people bought up bulbs they became so expensive that they were used as money until the market in them crashed. Today, Holland is still known for its tulips and other flowers, often being affectionately called the flower shop of the world. Tulips are cultivated in great fields of beautiful color, and tulip festivals abound throughout the country in the spring. The Dutch people took their love of tulips abroad when they settled, and tulips and tulip festivals are now found in New York (originally New Amsterdam) and Holland, Michigan, where the connection to their Dutch roots is very strong

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the tulip fields in North Holland, Netherlands. Originally cultivated in the Ottoman Empire, these vibrant flowers found their way to Holland in the sixteenth century. Their popularity soared when Carolus Clusius wrote a groundbreaking book on tulips in 1592, leading to frequent raids and thefts of bulbs from his garden. During the Dutch Golden Age, tulips became an integral part of art and festivals, symbolizing elegance and opulence. However, their demand skyrocketed to such an extent that it resulted in Tulip Mania - the world's first economic bubble. The value of tulip bulbs reached exorbitant levels before crashing dramatically. Even today, Holland remains synonymous with its breathtaking tulips and other flowers. Often referred to as "the flower shop of the world" vast fields adorned with colorful blooms can be seen throughout the country during springtime. Tulip festivals have become a cherished tradition across Holland. The Dutch people carried their love for tulips overseas when they settled abroad. This connection is particularly strong in New York (originally New Amsterdam) and Holland, Michigan where Dutch roots are deeply embedded. Danita Delimont's stunning photograph perfectly encapsulates this rich history and enduring allure of tulips while showcasing nature's masterpiece at its finest.
