Plate 11 from Pomona Londinensis: A Rare Nineteenth Century Illustration of the Chaumontel Pear (Pyrus communis 'Chaumontel') by William Hooker This exquisite botanical illustration, Plate 11 from Pomona Londinensis, showcases the Chaumontel Pear (Pyrus communis 'Chaumontel'), a variety of the common pear tree (Pyrus communis) that was popular in Europe during the nineteenth century. The illustration was produced by the renowned botanist and illustrator, Sir William Hooker (1785-1865), and is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The Chaumontel Pear is depicted in all its glory, with its lush green leaves, intricate branching pattern, and the ripe, red pears clustered amongst the foliage. The pears are shown in various stages of maturity, from green and unripe to fully red and juicy, ready for consumption. The delicate details of the pear's flowers, veins on the leaves, and the texture of the fruit are all rendered with exceptional precision and artistry. The Chaumontel Pear is an edible fruit belonging to the Rosaceae family, which is a large group of flowering plants, commonly known as the rose family. This particular variety of pear falls under the subfamily Rosoideae, order Rosales, class Eudicotyledons, and division Magnoliophyta. The Chaumontel Pear was first described by horticulturist Antoine Nicolas Duchesne in 1779, and was later cultivated and popularized in Europe during the nineteenth century. This stunning illustration is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world, as well as the remarkable skill of the botanical illustrators of the nineteenth century. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of plant discovery and documentation, and the importance of preserving these precious records for future generations.
