EDITORS COMMENTS
Friendship Distressed: When You Come Back? - A poignant depiction of the language of flowers and the enduring bond of friendship, as expressed through the symbolism of the geranium. This beautiful turn-of-the-century photograph, circa 1904, showcases a young woman in distress, carrying a basket of geraniums on her shoulder as she looks back over her shoulder, presumably waiting for the return of a dear friend. The geranium, also known as Pelargonium, is a beloved flower in the world of floriography, or the art of communicating through the use of flowers. In this context, the geranium symbolizes true friendship and unwavering companionship. The history of floriography dates back to the Victorian era, when secret meanings were attributed to various flowers and arrangements, allowing individuals to convey complex emotions through the simple exchange of blooms. This image, with its rich botanical detail and historical significance, invites us to reflect on the power of friendship and the enduring language of flowers.
