EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite close-up photograph captures the timeless beauty and delicate intricacy of Chrysanthemums, or Chrysanths, from around the turn of the 20th century. The image is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 6, held at Mary Evans Prints Online, and is estimated to date back to approximately 1900. Chrysanthemums, a symbol of longevity and rebirth in many Eastern cultures, have been cultivated for thousands of years. In this photograph, their vibrant petals are artfully arranged around a traditional Japanese lantern, creating a serene and harmonious composition. The soft focus and muted colors of the print evoke a sense of nostalgia and intimacy, transporting the viewer to a bygone era. The Chrysanthemum's enduring popularity is evident in its inclusion in numerous works of art and literature throughout history. In Japan, it holds a special place in the Chrysanthemum Throne, a position of great power and prestige that has been held by the Emperor since the 9th century. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of nature's beauty and the artistry of the photographer. It invites us to pause and appreciate the simple pleasures of life, even as the world around us continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Whether displayed as a cherished keepsake or incorporated into a contemporary interior design scheme, this Chrysanthemum print is sure to bring a touch of elegance and tranquility to any space.
