EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the luscious and vibrant Ripe Crimson Siberian Crab Cherries (Prunus species), as depicted in Charles McIntosh's Flora and Pomona published in 1829. The Scottish horticulturist and author, McIntosh, was renowned for his work with European aristocracy and royalty, and his extensive knowledge of gardening is evident in this stunning botanical representation. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Edwin Dalton Smith, a prominent botanical artist of the time, who drew for various notable figures such as Robert Sweet and Benjamin Maund. Smith's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricately rendered petals, stems, and leaves of the cherries, as well as the rich, crimson hue of the ripe fruit. The engraving was expertly executed by Watts, adding an additional layer of artistry to the illustration. The 19th century historical piece captures the essence of the Siberian Crab Cherry tree in its prime, with the ripe cherries ready for harvest. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical art and horticulture.
