EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Attar of roses, Bulgarian women gathering roses for perfume in the Valley of Roses, late 1950s" captures a moment frozen in time. The image transports us to the heart of Bulgaria during the era of communism, where agriculture played a significant role in shaping society. In this picturesque valley, we witness a group of hardworking Bulgarian women meticulously harvesting delicate rose petals. Their dedication is palpable as they carefully pluck each blossom with precision and grace. This labor-intensive process was essential for extracting attar of roses - an exquisite perfume highly sought after around the world. The scene not only showcases the beauty and fragility of nature but also serves as propaganda for the communist regime's agricultural achievements. By highlighting these diligent women working collectively on a farm, it symbolizes their commitment to building a prosperous nation under communist ideals. Beyond its political significance, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an industry deeply rooted in tradition and cultural heritage. The Valley of Roses has long been renowned for its rich soil and perfect climate conditions that produce some of the finest rose oil globally. As we admire this timeless image captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), let us appreciate both the aesthetic allure it holds and its historical context within Bulgaria's farming legacy during this transformative period.
