EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is Plate 21 from Pomona Londinensis, a seminal work on fruit and orchards published by renowned botanist William Hooker in 1818. The depicted fruit is the Yellow Ingestrie Pippin Apple (Malus domestica), a variety of the common apple (Rosaceae family, Rosales order, Eurosid clade, Fabidae tribe, Rosid subfamily) that was popular during the 19th century. The apple is shown in full bloom, revealing its delicate white flowers and intricately patterned leaves. The Yellow Ingestrie Pippin Apple was first recorded in 1779 and was named after the Ingestrie Priory in Worcestershire, England, where it was believed to have originated. This apple variety is known for its yellow skin, which turns golden-yellow when ripe, and its sweet, juicy, and aromatic flesh. The fruit's attractive appearance and delectable taste made it a favorite among apple enthusiasts during the Victorian era. This illustration, created by an unknown artist, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that characterized Hooker's work. The Pomona Londinensis was a significant contribution to the field of botany, documenting over 500 varieties of fruit and orchards. The work was also notable for its high-quality illustrations, which were produced using the latest techniques in botanical illustration. Today, this Yellow Ingestrie Pippin Apple illustration remains a captivating reminder of the rich botanical heritage of the 19th century and the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world. As a valuable historical resource, it continues to inspire curiosity and fascination among researchers, horticulturists, and fruit enthusiasts alike.
