EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1950s, a time when the Isles of Scilly were renowned for their exquisite yellow narcissi called Soleil D or. The image showcases the bustling industry surrounding these delicate flowers as they make their way from St Mary's to Covent Garden Market in Penzance. The scene unfolds at a picturesque harbor, where men and women diligently pack boxes filled with these precious blooms onto boats. A cart loaded with crates stands nearby, ready to transport them to their awaiting vessel. The air is filled with anticipation as each box is carefully stacked, ensuring the safe journey of these vibrant blossoms. Amidst this flurry of activity stands a man, his weathered face reflecting years spent tending to nature's beauty. His presence embodies the dedication and pride that goes into cultivating such magnificent flowers. Behind him loom imposing buildings belonging to the Salt and Tanning Company - a reminder of Cornwall's rich industrial heritage. This snapshot captures not only an important moment in history but also rural scenes that have long since faded away. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's wonders coming together harmoniously on these idyllic islands. David McLelland Snr skillfully immortalizes this enchanting sight through his lens, allowing us to appreciate the significance of this timeless tradition while evoking nostalgia for simpler times gone by.
