A long time ago, you could only find them on the slopes of remote mountain ranges in Asia, but today they are the very symbol of modern genetics, a species unrivalled for the variety of colors and forms that breeders can create: tulips. In this book, Celia Fisher traces the story of this important and highly popular plant, from its mountain beginnings to its prevalence in the gardens of Mughal, Persian, and Ottoman potentates; from its migration across the Silk Road to its explosive cultivation in the modern European world. Fisher looks at how tulips’ intensely saturated color has made them an important species for botanists and gardeners. Initially rare in sixteenth century Netherlands, tulips sparked such frenzy among aristocratic collectors that they caused the first economic bubble and collapse. Exploring the ways cultivators have created one hybrid after another—in an astonishing range of colors and shapes—Fisher also shows how tulips have inspired art and literature throughout the centuries, from Ottoman Turkey to the paintings of the Dutch Masters, from Alexandre Dumas’s novel The Black Tulip to contemporary artist David Cheung painting them atop pages of the Financial Times. Stunningly illustrated, this book offers a unique cultural history of one of our most important flowers.

Stories about the tulip fever of 1636/37 paint an astonishing picture, yet the truth is rather more prosaic. No one bought a house on an Amsterdam waterfront for the price of a tulip bulb, there were no sensational bankruptcies and no one leaped to a tragic death in a canal. The highest bid for a Viceroy tulip bulb in February 1637 - 4,200 guilders - was likely never paid, since that was when the market crashed. Why the market crashed is a mystery. A tulip glut? Doubts about their quality (since the bulbs still lay in the ground)? The effects of the plague that took so many tulip growers? The inevitable collapse of an overheated market? This book explains what actually happened in the first half of the seventeenth century, how tulips evolved from a sought-after collector's item, to a commercial product, to a speculative object. How traders originally traded in flowering bulbs, then in bulbs, and finally in bulbs that still lay in the soil and might be sold on several times by speculators in the hope of an ever-higher profit. And what happened, and didn't happen when the market crashed in February 1637, to the delight of scornful artists and composers of satirical rhymes. 00Exhibition: Museum de Zwarte Tulp, Lisse, The Netherlands (18.03. - 17.08.2023).
