EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the rolling hills of Fulney, Spalding, in Lincolnshire, two women engage in the timeless tradition of tulip picking in May 1951. The tulip, an exotic beauty introduced to Europe from Turkey in the 16th century, takes its name from the French word for turban. This vibrant flower, with its rich history and allure, has captivated people for centuries. As the women carefully remove the flower heads by hand, they contribute to the essential process of promoting bulb development. The tulip fields of Lincolnshire were once a significant source of pride and income for the local community. The labor-intensive task of tulip picking was a testament to the dedication and hard work that went into cultivating these beautiful blooms.
