EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor illustration depicts the Malus communis, commonly known as the apple tree, as rendered by the skilled hand of George Brookshaw in his instructional manual "Full Instructions for the Young Artist" published in 1817. The apple tree is a member of the Rosaceae family, which also includes roses, peaches, and cherries. It is an angiosperm, meaning it produces seeds enclosed in a fruit, and is a dicot, characterized by having two seed leaves or cotyledons. The apple tree is an essential component of the Eurosid clade, which is a subgroup of the larger Eudicot clade, and is further classified as a Rosid, a group of flowering plants that includes roses, sunflowers, and legumes. The tree is shown here in full bloom, with its delicate pink and white flowers adorning the branches. The apple itself, a popular and nutritious fruit, is depicted in various stages of development, from the tiny green bud to the ripe, red fruit. The apple tree is not only a source of delicious and healthy food but also a beautiful addition to any landscape. Its elegant form and vibrant colors make it a favorite subject for artists and gardeners alike. This exquisite illustration by George Brookshaw captures the essence of the apple tree, providing a glimpse into the natural world and the beauty of the plant kingdom.
