EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor illustration is a stunning representation of a Prunus sp. cherry tree, captured in the meticulous detail of George Brookshaw's Full Instructions for the Young Artist (1817). The cherry tree, a beloved member of the Rosaceae family, is depicted in all its splendor, with its vibrant red fruits hanging in clusters against the lush green leaves. As an edible plant, the cherry tree is not only a source of beauty but also of nourishment. Its fruits, which are the enlarged drupes of the tree, are rich in vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. The tree itself is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. More specifically, it is a eudicot, a subgroup of flowering plants characterized by certain features in their seeds and leaves. The cherry tree is a member of the Rosales order, which also includes other familiar plants such as roses, apples, and peaches. It belongs to the Rosid clade, a large group of flowering plants that includes many important food crops. Within the Rosid clade, the cherry tree is part of the subclade Amygdalideae, which also includes almonds, peaches, and plums. George Brookshaw's illustration showcases the intricate structures of the cherry tree, from the delicate flowers to the textured bark and veined leaves. The use of watercolor adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art. This illustration is not only a testament to Brookshaw's artistic skill but also a valuable record of botanical knowledge from the past.
