It is a curious story. By the way, this was a time in the 18th century, a period of Romanticism, as depicted in the sad Blue Flower. But this Blue Wonder is a more practical reality.

Thank you for introducing me to 'The Sad Blue Flower'. There are so many sad romantic stories around this period. I expect their popularity reflected the limited choices women had at the time; they were rarely allowed the luxury of marrying for love.
