EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored stipple engraving showcases the Raisin de Calmes grape, scientifically known as Vitis vinifera, in all its splendor. The illustration is taken from George Brookshaw's renowned Pomona Britannica, published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in 1817. Known for his exceptional botanical illustrations, Brookshaw meticulously captured the intricate details of this grape variety, highlighting its distinctive features. The Raisin de Calmes grape is a black grape variety that was once widely cultivated in the southwestern region of France, particularly in the Languedoc area. The grapes were traditionally used to produce raisins, which were highly prized for their sweet and luscious flavor. The grape's thick, wrinkled skin protected the fruit from the sun, allowing it to naturally dehydrate and develop its rich, complex taste. The engraving reveals the grape's elongated, oval-shaped berries, each one adorned with a golden-brown, wrinkled surface. The vine, with its twisting tendrils and large, lobed leaves, is also depicted in the illustration, adding to the overall beauty and intrigue of the composition. This botanical masterpiece not only serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of George Brookshaw but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of grape cultivation and winemaking in Europe. The Raisin de Calmes grape may no longer be widely cultivated today, but its legacy lives on through illustrations like this one, which continue to inspire and captivate viewers with their stunning detail and historical significance.
