Title: Ronald, Edition ⅕ (Tulip)
Photograph size: 8x10, Frame 11x14
Details: Developed on paper from a 500 year old German paper mill that is both acid and lignin free with a lightly defined felt structure. Hand deckled edges.
Symbolism, Folklore, and Fact: Historically, tulips were declarations of love and were unattainable by the bourgeois, due to their rarity and expense. In the middle ages, the Didier’s Tulip was more valuable than jewels. At the peak of tulip mania, in February 1637, some tulip bulbs sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled artisan.
