EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print, published between 1878 and 1884 by The Florist and Pomologist, Robert Hogg in London, showcases two exquisite plum cultivars: Late Diamond and Reine Claude du Comte Hathem. The meticulously hand-coloured and chromolithographic plate, drawn by Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, and lithographed by G. Severeyns and Stroobant in Belgium, captures the essence of these two unique plum varieties. The Late Diamond plum is depicted on the left side of the print, its oval-shaped fruit displaying a rich golden-yellow hue with a rosy blush. The skin is smooth and free from blemishes, while the flesh is described as juicy and sweet with a hint of tartness. The Late Diamond plum was a popular cultivar during the late 19th century due to its late ripening season, allowing it to be harvested well into autumn. On the right side of the print, the Reine Claude du Comte Hathem plum is illustrated. This plum cultivar boasts a distinctive round shape and a pale green-yellow colour with a red blush. Its skin is thin and tender, while the flesh is described as white, juicy, and deliciously sweet. Reine Claude du Comte Hathem was a highly esteemed cultivar in Europe during the Victorian era, known for its exceptional flavour and high quality. This charming print not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of plum cultivation during the late 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the Late Diamond and Reine Claude plums to life, making this a must-have for any fruit enthusiast or collector of historical botanical prints.
