Plate 47 from Pomona Londinensis (1818): A Stunning Nineteenth Century Illustration of the La Royale Plum (Prunus sp.) by William Hooker This exquisite botanical illustration, Plate 47 from Pomona Londinensis (1818), showcases the La Royale Plum (Prunus sp.), a beautiful and edible member of the Rosaceae family. The illustration, produced by the renowned botanist and explorer, Sir William Hooker, captures the essence of this magnificent plant in intricate detail. The La Royale Plum, also known as the European Plum or Prunus domestica, is a flowering plant that belongs to the subfamily Prunoideae, order Rosales, class Eudicotyledons, and kingdom Plantae. This juicy and purple fruit is a favorite in European cuisine and is known for its sweet and tangy taste. The illustration displays the plum tree in all its glory, with its branches adorned with delicate pink flowers and ripe, purple plums. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the veining on the leaves to the tiny hairs on the stems. The painting also captures the unique texture of the plum skin and the sheen of the ripe fruit. Pomona Londinensis, also known as The London Pomona, was a significant work in the field of botany during the 19th century. It was produced by William Hooker and his team of skilled botanical illustrators and was one of the most comprehensive works on fruit and nut trees at the time. The work was published between 1779 and 1832 and remains an important resource for botanical research and horticulture today. This stunning illustration of the La Royale Plum is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the remarkable skill of William Hooker and his team. It is a treasure in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world through scientific exploration and artistic expression.
