1. Title: A Feast of Filberts: An Exquisite Handcolored Stipple Engraving of Filbert Varieties from George Brookshaw's Pomona Britannica This stunning handcolored stipple engraving, created by George Brookshaw in 1817, showcases an array of captivating filbert varieties (Corylus avellana) from his renowned horticultural publication, Pomona Britannica. The intricately detailed illustration, published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in London, offers a glimpse into the rich botanical history of filberts and their diverse appearances. The illustration features several notable filbert varieties, including the White Filbert, Scarlet Filbert, Barcelona Filbert, English Cobnut, and others. Each filbert is meticulously rendered, with delicate shading and vibrant colors that bring out their unique characteristics. The White Filbert, for instance, is depicted with smooth, white husks encasing small, round nuts, while the Scarlet Filbert boasts a striking red husk adorned with a golden nut. George Brookshaw, a skilled botanical artist, meticulously captured the essence of each filbert variety in this exquisite work of art. The stipple engraving technique, which involves the application of tiny dots to create texture and depth, adds a remarkable level of detail and realism to the illustration. This print not only showcases the beauty and diversity of filbert varieties but also serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 19th century. The intricate details and rich colors make it an essential addition to any botanical collection or horticultural enthusiast's library. Whether appreciated for its historical significance, botanical accuracy, or simply its aesthetic appeal, this handcolored stipple engraving of filbert varieties is a true masterpiece that continues to inspire and captivate viewers over two centuries after its creation.
