EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration is Plate 46 from Pomona Londinensis, a seminal work on fruit and ornamental plants published by the renowned botanist William Hooker in 1818. The depicted plant is a Prunus sp. cherry, specifically the Bigarreau Cherry (Prunus avium 'Bigarreau'), a popular cultivar known for its large, juicy, and red fruits. The illustration, created during the 19th century, showcases the plant in all its glory, with intricately detailed renderings of its flowers, leaves, and fruit. As part of the Rosaceae family, Rosales order, Eudicotyledonous clade, and Magnoliophyta class, the Bigarreau Cherry is an angiosperm, or a flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. More specifically, it is a rosid, a subclass of the eudicots, and a member of the subfamily Amygdaleae or the almond family. The plant's scientific name, Prunus avium, refers to its close relationship with the common cherry (Prunus avium), and the 'Bigarreau' is a cultivar name that honors its French origin. The Bigarreau Cherry tree is an essential addition to orchards and gardens, and its fruits have been enjoyed for centuries for their sweet, succulent taste. The illustration in Pomona Londinensis provides a fascinating glimpse into the botanical knowledge of the early 19th century, offering a window into the world of horticulture and plant science during this period. William Hooker, the work's author, was a pioneering figure in the field of botany, and his meticulous attention to detail is evident in this exquisite illustration.
