EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print depicts a charming posy of spring blooms, featuring the iconic Narcissus, or daffodil, in a double white variety. The elegant arrangement also includes the vibrant Anemone and the fragrant Jasminum, described as the Yellow Indian variety. The delicate posy is artfully tied with a striped ribbon, adding a touch of refinement to this beautiful composition. Narcissus, a genus of the Amaryllidaceae family, has been admired for centuries for its stunning, bell-shaped flowers. The ancient Greeks legend tells the story of Narcissus, a young man who fell in love with his own reflection, leading to his tragic demise. In honor of this myth, the daffodil came to be known as Narcissus, symbolizing self-love and vanity. Anemone, or windflower, is a diverse genus of flowering plants, known for their distinctive, often cup-shaped blooms. These flowers have long been appreciated for their beauty and symbolism, representing various meanings such as anticipation, wisdom, and undying love. Jasminum, commonly known as jasmine, is a genus of evergreen shrubs and vines, renowned for their intoxicating fragrance. The Yellow Indian variety, specifically, is believed to have originated in southern Asia and is characterized by its bright yellow, star-shaped flowers. This posy, with its harmonious blend of Narcissus, Anemone, and Jasminum, encapsulates the essence of the 18th century's appreciation for the natural world and the art of arranging flowers. The print serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and allure of these beloved spring blooms.
