EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mummy Wheat in Ear, grown at Stow-on-the-Wold" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of botany. The image showcases a remarkable specimen of wheat, meticulously cultivated in Stow-on-the-Wold. The intricate details captured by the English School artist transport us to a time when scientific discoveries were celebrated with awe and wonder. This particular variety of wheat, known as Mummy Wheat, holds historical significance due to its connection with ancient Egypt. It is believed that this strain was derived from grains found within mummified remains. Displayed against a backdrop of lush greenery, the ear of wheat stands tall and proud. Its golden hue radiates warmth and abundance, evoking feelings of prosperity and sustenance. The careful etchings highlight every delicate curve and texture on each grain. Originally published in The Illustrated London News on September 22nd, 1849, this engraving served as an educational tool for readers eager to learn about botanical marvels from around the world. Today it serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with nature's wonders. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded that even something as seemingly ordinary as wheat can hold extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered.
