EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 45 from Pomona Londinensis: A Rare Nineteenth Century Illustration of the Black Prince Grape (Vitis sp.) by William Hooker This exquisite botanical illustration, Plate 45 from Pomona Londinensis, showcases the Black Prince Grape (Vitis sp.), a variety of the common grape vine (Vitis vinifera L. s.l., family Vitaceae). The illustration was created by the renowned botanist and illustrator, William Hooker (1785-1865), during the period of 1779 to 1832. The plate is currently held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The Black Prince Grape, also known as Cinsaut, is an edible grape variety that belongs to the order of Angiospermae (flowering plants), class Magnoliophyta, subclass Rosidae, order Rosales, family Vitaceae, and the subfamily Vitoideae. This grape is an eudicot, which means it has two seed leaves when it first emerges from the seed. The illustration captures the Black Prince Grape vine in all its splendor, with its tendrils twining around a support, and clusters of grapes hanging from the vine. The grapes are depicted as large, black, and juicy, with a subtle sheen. The leaves are shown as elongated, with a serrated margin and a glossy surface. The flowers are illustrated in detail, with their perfect, five-petaled structure and the male and female parts clearly visible. This illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of William Hooker and the advanced botanical knowledge of the nineteenth century. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the botanical world of the past and the beauty of the natural world. The Black Prince Grape remains an important cultivar today, and this illustration serves as a reminder of its rich botanical heritage.
