EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting 19th-century photograph of Gold of Ophir roses in bloom, nestled among the picturesque gardens of Carmelita in Pasadena. Dated around 1898, this coloured print showcases the nostalgic charm of a bygone era. The Gold of Ophir rose, also known as the 'Mossman' or 'Moss Rose,' was a popular variety during this period for its unique moss-like texture and vibrant gold hue. The image captures the essence of the historical significance of Pasadena, which was then known for its stunning gardens and elegant estates. The serene atmosphere of the scene is further emphasized by the lush greenery and the delicate petals of the roses, which appear to be bathed in soft sunlight. This photograph, with its rich colours and intricate detail, is a testament to the artistry of the photochrom process, a popular method for producing coloured prints during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The nostalgia evoked by the image is not only a reminder of the beauty of the past but also a celebration of the enduring allure of nature and its ability to inspire awe and wonder. The Gold of Ophir roses in this photograph are a captivating sight, their golden petals shimmering against the verdant foliage. This evocative image transports us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of nature were cherished and celebrated. A truly beautiful and historical addition to any collection, this print is a must-have for those who appreciate the rich tapestry of our past and the beauty of the natural world.
