EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back to the early 20th century on the picturesque Isles of Scilly. Against a backdrop of rolling hills and azure skies, a woman gracefully bends down in a sun-kissed field adorned with vibrant Scilly Whites narcissi. Her delicate hands carefully pluck these daffodils, their golden petals mirroring her radiant smile. Taken by an unknown photographer during the Victorian or Edwardian era, this image encapsulates both the beauty of nature and the simplicity of rural life in Cornwall. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility as we witness this timeless tradition - flower picking - which has been an integral part of Cornish farming for generations.

This glimpse into history allows us to appreciate how individuals found solace and purpose through simple acts like flower picking – connecting with nature while contributing to their community's livelihoods.
