EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration is Plate 12 from Pomona Londinensis, a botanical work published by renowned botanist William Hooker in 1818. The subject of this exquisite plate is Malus domestica, specifically the Scarlet Nonpareil Apple. Malus domestica, commonly known as the common apple, is a flowering plant in the Rosaceae family, which also includes roses and peaches. This eudicot, angiosperm, and member of the Rosales order, is native to Central Asia but has been cultivated and spread worldwide due to its edible and nutritious fruit. The Scarlet Nonpareil Apple, depicted in this illustration, is a particularly noteworthy variety, prized for its bright red skin and sweet, juicy flesh. The apple tree, with its rosette-like arrangement of leaves, is shown in full bloom, displaying the intricate details of its flowers and fruit. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration is a testament to Hooker's expertise and the advanced techniques of the time. Pomona Londinensis was a significant contribution to the field of botany during the 19th century, showcasing Hooker's extensive knowledge of apple varieties and their distinctive characteristics. This illustration, held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, is a captivating reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and the beauty of the natural world.
