EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sketches at the Apple Congress at Chiswick" takes us back to a time when agricultural shows were highly anticipated events. Created by Alfred Courbould, this print captures the essence of an apple congress held in Chiswick, London in 1883. The image showcases a wide variety of apples on display, each meticulously sketched with intricate details. From the well-known Golden Spire and Cats Head to lesser-known varieties like Siberian Ducksbill and Hanwell Sourcing, these sketches offer a glimpse into the diverse world of apple cultivation. Visitors can be seen admiring and discussing the different specimens as they make their way through rows of tables filled with apples. The committee members are engaged in conversations about botanical classifications and scientific methods used in fruit cultivation. This engraving not only highlights the beauty of these fruits but also emphasizes their importance within botany, natural history, science, and food supply. It serves as a reminder that even something as simple as an apple holds immense significance in our lives. With its rich historical context and attention to detail, this artwork transports us back to a time when agricultural shows were celebrated for their educational value and contribution to horticultural advancements.
