Vintage Poppy Black and White Clip Art
Alas, my very last poppy flower bloomed this morning. That means no more poppies for another year. 🙁 This is one of my favorite illustrations from my vintage Burpee seed catalog, as it really is one of the prettiest flower illustrations in the entire book.
Speaking of poppies, I came across this insanely beautiful and bizarre set of vintage ceramic pharmacy canisters when I was at the Randolph Street Market earlier this year. They caught my eye because they were large and beautifully colored. Then I literally gasped in surprise to see the “Opium” and “Morphine” lettering. I know back then these items were quite commonly used pain killers/sleep aids, but in a modern context it’s just weird. Had these canisters been labeled as “Crack” and “Crystal Meth” I would have reacted pretty much the exact same way. 🙂
