EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Mystical Rapture - A Woman Engrossed in the Aromatic Fumes of Incense, 1910 This evocative photograph captures the essence of the heightened senses and the allure of the past, as a woman named Annie, lost in thought and enraptured by the scent of burning incense, takes a deep breath. The image, taken in the early 1910s, transports us back to the Edwardian era, a time of artistic and spiritual exploration, as depicted through the Nouveau movement's influence on interior design and the growing interest in Eastern spirituality. The woman, dressed in a flowing green gown, sits in a dimly lit room adorned with yellow hues, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and introspection. In her hands, she holds a censer, releasing plumes of fragrant smoke into the air. The incense's aroma, a blend of exotic and earthy scents, fills the room, enveloping her in a sensory experience that transcends the physical world. As she inhales deeply, her eyes are closed, and her expression reveals a state of profound contemplation. The smoke from the incense curls around her face, creating an ethereal veil that further separates her from the mundane reality. The moment is both mystical and artistic, a testament to the power of the sense of smell to evoke emotions and transport us to other realms. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the role of the senses in our lives and the enduring allure of the aromatic world.
