EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 37 from Pomona Londinensis (1818) presents a stunning and intricately detailed illustration of Rubus idaeus, commonly known as the yellow Antwerp raspberry. This exquisite plant specimen, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, was meticulously rendered by the renowned botanical artist and scientist, William Hooker. The illustration captures the essence of this edible fruit, which belongs to the Rosaceae family, specifically the Rosales order, within the eudicot clade of Angiosperms. Rubus idaeus, a flowering plant, is a perennial shrub that produces juicy and succulent fruits. The raspberry, as it is commonly known, is a member of the Rosid subclass, Fabidae, and is characterized by its white flowers and red, drupe-like fruit. This particular illustration showcases the yellow variety of the Antwerp raspberry, which was popular in Europe during the 19th century. The illustration reveals the various components of the raspberry plant, from its lobed leaves to its delicate flowers and the individual drupelets that make up the fruit. The attention to detail and accuracy in the depiction of the plant's anatomy is a testament to Hooker's expertise and dedication to botanical illustration. Hooker, who was active from 1779 to 1832, was a significant figure in the field of botany during the 19th century. His work, Pomona Londinensis, was a comprehensive and influential work on the fruit-bearing plants of the British Isles, featuring over 500 illustrations. This illustration of the yellow Antwerp raspberry is just one example of the exquisite and detailed work that can be found in this seminal botanical publication.
