EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print showcases two exquisite grape varieties, Black Hamburg and Gros Colman, from the Vitis vinifera species. The image, published as part of The Florist and Pomologist by Robert Hogg in London between 1878 and 1884, is a stunning testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the late 19th century. The meticulously hand-coloured and chromolithographed plate, produced by G. Severeyns in Brussels, showcases the allure and intricacy of these grape varieties. Black Hamburg, with its dark purple-black grapes, is a popular table grape variety known for its rich, sweet flavor and juicy texture. Gros Colman, on the other hand, boasts large, green-skinned grapes with a golden-yellow flesh, which are prized for their delicate, musky aroma and unique sweet-tart taste. The grapes are depicted in lush detail, with their stems, leaves, and tendrils rendered in exquisite accuracy. The intricate patterns on the grape skins and the delicate veining on the leaves add to the overall beauty of the print. The background features a serene vineyard scene, further emphasizing the connection between these grape varieties and the rich agricultural traditions of the time. This print is a testament to the artistry and scientific exploration of the late 19th century, as well as a reminder of the enduring allure of grapes and their role in the world of horticulture and viticulture. Produced by a team of skilled artists, including Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, and masterful lithographers G. Severeyns and Stroobant, this print is a true masterpiece of its time.
