Love in a Mist
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and enchanting image from the "Flower Children" series, published by Humphrey Milford in 1920. This postcard features a beautiful illustration by the talented British artist, Amy Millicent Sowerby. The illustration showcases a dreamlike scene of Love in a Mist (Nigella damascena) in full bloom, surrounded by a lush, verdant garden teeming with various flowers and insects. Amy Millicent Sowerby (1887-1969) was a renowned botanical illustrator and painter, known for her intricate and detailed watercolor works. Her illustrations were often published in various botanical and horticultural books and journals, making her a significant figure in the field of botanical art during the early 20th century. The "Flower Children" series, published by Humphrey Milford, was a collection of postcards featuring illustrations of various flowers, each accompanied by a poem or verse. This particular postcard, featuring "Love in a Mist," is a testament to Sowerby's exceptional talent for capturing the essence and beauty of nature. The Love in a Mist plant, with its delicate, feathery flowers and intricately patterned seed pods, is a popular and beloved flower among gardeners and flower enthusiasts. The name "Love in a Mist" refers to the plant's unique appearance, which resembles a misty, ethereal veil when in bloom. This postcard, with its stunning illustration and poetic verse, would have been a cherished keepsake for children and adults alike during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and joys of nature, and the enduring beauty of a well-crafted work of art.
