EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the ripe crimson fruit and leaves of the Keens Seedling Strawberry, Fragaria ananassa, as depicted in Charles McIntosh's Flora and Pomona, published in 1829. The illustration was produced by the skilled hand of botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith and meticulously engraved by Watts. McIntosh, a Scottish gardener to European aristocracy and royalty, and an accomplished author, curated this comprehensive work on gardening and horticulture. The Keens Seedling Strawberry is a beloved variety of the Fragaria ananassa species, known for its vibrant, crimson fruit and lush, green leaves. The ripe fruit is displayed in all its glory, the deep red hue a testament to its sweet and succulent nature. The leaves, with their serrated edges and glossy surface, frame the fruit perfectly, adding to the overall beauty of the illustration. The intricate details of the illustration are a testament to the artists' mastery of their craft. The delicate veining on the leaves, the tiny hairs on the fruit, and the subtle variations in color all serve to bring the Keens Seedling Strawberry to life. This illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the botanical knowledge and artistic skill of the 19th century. The handcolored technique adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the illustration, making it a true work of art. The use of natural dyes and pigments to bring out the vibrant colors of the fruit and leaves further enhances the overall effect. This illustration is not only a beautiful addition to any botanical collection but also a valuable historical artifact, providing insights into the world of horticulture and botanical illustration during the 19th century.
