EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Spring Crocuses" captured by Raymond Kleboe in 1953, we are transported back to a moment of pure natural beauty. The image showcases Shelley the tortoise, an unexpected but endearing subject, as she delicately sniffs the first crocuses of spring. Published originally in Picture Post magazine, this photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of renewal and awakening that comes with the arrival of spring. The square format adds a timeless quality to the composition, while the absence of people allows us to focus solely on Shelley's interaction with her surroundings. Against a backdrop of lush plants and flowers, her reptilian curiosity is palpable. As one contemplates this image, it becomes clear that even animals can appreciate nature's wonders. This archival piece not only celebrates the animal kingdom but also serves as a reminder for us humans to take notice and cherish these small moments in our own lives. It transports us back to a simpler time when connecting with nature was paramount. Raymond Kleboe's skillful use of photography enhances every detail - from Shelley's textured shell to each delicate petal on the crocus flower. This print is an exquisite addition for any art collector or nature enthusiast who seeks solace in capturing fleeting moments like these – moments that remind us all about life’s inherent beauty.
