EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 17 from Pomona Londinensis, an exquisite illustration of the Gansels Bergamot Pear (Pyrus sp.) by the renowned botanist and illustrator, William Hooker. This beautiful nineteenth-century print, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the intricate details of this edible pear variety. The Gansels Bergamot Pear, also known as the Bergamot Pear or European Quince, is a member of the Rosaceae family, specifically the subfamily Rosidoideae and the genus Pyrus. This eudicot angiosperm, characterized by its juicy fruit and distinctive flower, is a delightful addition to the Pomona Londinensis collection, which was published between 1779 and 1832. The pear is depicted in full bloom, displaying its elegant white flowers with a subtle pink tint at the base. The leaves, which are simple, ovate, and serrated, provide a beautiful contrast to the vibrant flowers. The fruit, which is not yet fully developed in this illustration, is typically round and yellow-green with a red blush, with a unique aroma reminiscent of bergamot. As a member of the Rosales order, the Gansels Bergamot Pear is part of the larger group of flowering plants known as magnoliophyta. Its botanical classification includes the superorder Rosids, order Fabales, family Rosaceae, subfamily Rosidoideae, and genus Pyrus. This illustration not only serves as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world but also provides valuable information for botanical research and identification. William Hooker, the artist behind this masterpiece, was a prominent figure in the field of botany during the nineteenth century. His meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accurate representation is evident in this stunning illustration. The Gansels Bergamot Pear remains an important addition to the Natural History Museum's collection and a valuable resource for botanical study and appreciation.
