EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from July 1914, an Indian boy sits calmly with crossed legs atop the colossal Victoria Regia water lily leaf, effortlessly demonstrating its remarkable strength and buoyancy in a tranquil pond in Madras, India. The Victoria Regia, a giant tropical water lily native to South America, is renowned for its massive leaves that can support the weight of an adult. In this photograph, the leaf, taking on some water, maintains its position, showcasing its impressive ability to stay afloat. This historical moment offers a unique glimpse into the past, as the boy's serene expression and the lush, natural surroundings transport us back to a time when the wonders of nature were still a source of fascination and wonder. The image, with its rich history and intriguing subject matter, is a must-have for any collection focusing on nature, history, or cultural exploration.
