1. Title: White Frontiniac Grape (Vitis vinifera): A Stipple Engraving from George Brookshaw's Pomona Britannica (1817) This exquisite handcolored stipple engraving depicts the White Frontiniac grape (Vitis vinifera), a variety that has captivated botanists, horticulturists, and wine enthusiasts for centuries. The illustration is taken from George Brookshaw's renowned work, Pomona Britannica, published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in 1817. Brookshaw, a skilled botanical artist and engraver, meticulously captured the intricate details of the White Frontiniac grape in this masterpiece. The delicate clusters of grapes are shown hanging from the vine, their translucent white berries glistening with dew or moisture. The veins on the leaves and the texture of the grape skin are rendered with remarkable precision, showcasing Brookshaw's artistic prowess. The White Frontiniac grape, also known as the White Chasselas or White Muscat, is a popular variety in Europe, particularly in France and Switzerland. It is known for producing high-quality white wines with distinctive aromas and flavors. The grapes are typically harvested late in the season to ensure optimal ripeness, resulting in a sweet, luscious wine with a complex profile. This stunning engraving not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of grape cultivation and winemaking during the early 19th century. The intricate details of the White Frontiniac grape, as depicted in this handcolored stipple engraving, continue to inspire appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
