EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph, titled "Varieties of Pear," is an enchanting representation of five distinct pear varieties from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," or "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1874 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The depicted pear varieties include Helene Gregoire, Colmar d'Arenberg, Colmar Kennes, President Muller, and Premices d'Ecully. Each pear is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing their unique characteristics and alluring textures. The Helene Gregoire pear, with its golden-yellow skin and red blush, is depicted in the center, surrounded by the other varieties. The Colmar d'Arenberg, with its green-yellow skin and red stripes, is shown to the left. The Colmar Kennes, characterized by its green-yellow skin with a red blush and a distinctive neck, is displayed to the right. The President Muller pear, with its green-yellow skin and red stripes, is located at the bottom left, while the Premices d'Ecully, with its green-yellow skin and red-brown lenticels, is situated at the bottom right. This artwork not only showcases the beauty and diversity of these pear varieties but also serves as a testament to the horticultural achievements of the late 19th century. The intricate handcolouring technique adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning addition to any garden or home decor.
