EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting image of a Gold of Ophir rose bush, captured in the early 20th century. The Gold of Ophir, also known as the 'Moss Rose' or 'Mossed Rose,' is a beautiful and rare variety of rose that originated in South Africa in the late 19th century. This exquisite rose was named after the legendary city of Ophir, believed to be located in Africa, due to its golden hue and the belief that the city was rich in gold. This stunning photograph, estimated to be taken around 1904, showcases the picturesque beauty of this nostalgic rose in all its glory. The rich, golden tones of the rose petals stand out against the lush, green foliage, creating a breathtaking contrast. The intricate details of the rose's velvety petals and delicate veins are captured in exquisite detail, thanks to the photochrom process, which was a popular method for producing colored photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The historical significance of this image lies not only in the beauty of the Gold of Ophir rose but also in the era in which it was captured. The late 19th and early 20th centuries were a time of great change and innovation, and this photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The nostalgia evoked by this image transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of nature were cherished. This coloured print is not only a beautiful addition to any home or garden room but also a valuable historical document, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the beauty and wonder of nature. The Gold of Ophir rose may no longer be as rare as it once was, but this photograph remains a testament to its enduring allure and the enchantment it has held for generations.
