2203 Orchid photo prints (15), Stanley Walsh, L. Sherman Adams

Excellent condition, very sharp, clean, and w/ strong colors. All backs are blank.

I do not know what this group of prints is from. Given the paper and inking, I think they are from the 1950’s.

The orchid - a complicated flower in its history of association with humans. The orchid symbolizes beauty, strength, love, luxury. And the Greeks believed that if the father ate orchid tubers, the unborn baby would be a boy. I wonder what the Greeks thought if the father ate pansies.
