EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, Plate 13 from George Brookshaw's Pomona Britannica (1812), showcases three exquisite varieties of cherries: the Morello cherry (Prunus cerasus) at the top, the Caroon cherry (Prunus sp.) in the center, and an unnamed cherry (Prunus sp.) at the bottom. The meticulously detailed illustration, created by George Brookshaw, showcases the allure of these juicy, succulent fruits. The Morello cherry, depicted at the top, is a popular sour cherry variety, widely used in culinary applications, such as jams, pies, and preserves. Its small, dark red fruits are not only visually appealing but also rich in flavor. The Caroon cherry, illustrated in the center, is a lesser-known cherry variety, with a more elongated shape and lighter red color compared to the Morello cherry. Its name, Caroon, is believed to have originated from the Persian word for cherry, 'karun.' The third cherry variety, shown at the bottom, remains unnamed in this illustration. Its appearance suggests it may be a sweet cherry, with larger, red fruits. The intricacies of each cherry's bloom, leaf, and fruit are depicted with remarkable precision, highlighting the beauty and diversity within the Rosaceae family, specifically the subfamily Prunus or the Amygdalideae. As members of the angiosperms, dicots, eudicots, and magnoliophytes, cherries are essential components of the flowering plant kingdom. The Rosales order, to which cherries belong, is characterized by their unique flower structures and their woody, often thorny, stems. The Fabidae family, which includes cherries, is further divided into the subfamilies Amygdaleae and Amygdaloideae. This beautiful print, a testament to George Brookshaw's artistic skill and botanical knowledge, continues to captivate and inspire us with its intricate details and celebration of nature's bounty.
