EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph print showcases the Oldenberg nectarine, a cultivar of the common peach tree, Prunus persica. The Oldenberg nectarine was named after its discoverer, a German horticulturist named Johann Georg Oldenberg, who introduced it to the world in the late 18th century. This beautiful illustration is taken from The Florist and Pomologist, a comprehensive work on fruit and flowers published in London between 1878 and 1884. The illustration was drawn by a team of skilled artists, including Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, and lithographed by the renowned Belgian lithographers G. Severeyns and Stroobant. The intricate details of the Oldenberg nectarine's velvety skin, its juicy, rosy-hued flesh, and the delicate veins on its surface are all captured in stunning detail. The Florist and Pomologist was a significant work in the field of horticulture, featuring 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates that documented a wide range of fruit and flowers. The publication of this work marked a significant advancement in the field, as it allowed for the widespread dissemination of accurate and detailed illustrations of various plant species. Today, this Oldenberg nectarine print serves as a reminder of the rich history of horticulture and the important role that illustrations have played in documenting and preserving the natural world. Its vibrant colours and intricate details continue to captivate the imagination and inspire appreciation for the beauty and diversity of nature.
