EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored stipple engraving is a captivating representation of various cherries (Prunus avium) from George Brookshaw's Pomona Britannica, published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in 1817. The illustration, meticulously crafted by George Brookshaw himself, showcases an array of cherries, including the Geisha Cherry (George's Cherry), Graffien, Bigarreau, and Harrison's Heart. The intricate details of the cherries are brought to life through the stipple engraving technique, which involves the application of tiny dots to create texture and depth. The delicate shading and precise coloring further enhance the realism of the illustration, making it a stunning example of botanical art from the early 19th century. The cherries are depicted in various stages of ripeness, from the pink buds to the fully red and succulent fruits. Each variety is labeled with its name, providing a valuable record of the different cherries known during that time. This illustration not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an important historical document, showcasing the diversity of cherry varieties that were cultivated and appreciated during the Georgian era. The botanical accuracy and artistic beauty of this illustration make it a must-have for anyone with an interest in fruit, botany, or the history of horticulture. This image is a testament to the skill and dedication of George Brookshaw and the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the natural world.
