EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite sketch, titled Crataegus phaenopyrum or Washington Hawthorn, is an 18th-century illustration from the extensive collection of original drawings and sketches by the renowned botanical artist, Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). The drawing is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Crataegus phaenopyrum, also known as the Washington Hawthorn, is a flowering plant belonging to the Rosaceae family, specifically the subfamily Rosoideae and the genus Crataegus. Native to North America, this hawthorn species is characterized by its attractive, red berries and elegant, white flowers. Ehret's masterful depiction of the Washington Hawthorn showcases the intricate details of its floral structure, including the five petals, numerous stamens, and the distinctive red berries. The drawing also reveals the plant's simple, serrated leaves and the branching pattern of its stems. As a member of the Angiospermae, Eudicot, Magnoliophyta, Rosales, Eurosid, and Fabidae classes, Crataegus phaenopyrum is a valuable addition to the vast world of flowering plants. Ehret's meticulous illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and complexity of this North American native, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the 18th century.
