EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration of the Robinsons Pippin Apple (Plate 42) is taken from Pomona Londinensis, a seminal work on fruit and ornamental trees published by renowned botanist William Hooker between 1798 and 1832. The meticulously detailed engraving, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the exquisite beauty and intricacy of this apple variety. The apple, a member of the Rosaceae family and the genus Malus, is a beloved edible fruit and an essential part of the Rosales order, which also includes roses and other fruit trees. As a dicot, or eudicot, it belongs to the Angiospermae, a diverse group of flowering plants characterized by their enclosed seeds. The Robinsons Pippin Apple, with its distinctive red and yellow stripes, is a popular apple variety that was likely cultivated in the 19th century. The illustration captures the apple's alluring appearance, with its glossy surface and intricately textured skin. The delicate rendering of the apple's stem, leaves, and calyx adds to the overall beauty of the piece. William Hooker, a prominent figure in the world of botany, was a key contributor to the scientific understanding of the apple and other fruit trees during the 19th century. His work on Pomona Londinensis, which includes over 300 plates, remains an essential resource for botanists, horticulturists, and fruit enthusiasts alike. The Robinsons Pippin Apple illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of apple cultivation and the enduring allure of this beloved fruit.
