1. Title: A Delightful Triumvirate of Currant Varieties: Blackcurrant, Dutch Redcurrant, and White Currant This exquisite handcolored stipple engraving, taken from George Brookshaw's renowned Pomona Britannica, published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in 1817, showcases three distinct varieties of currants: the Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum), Dutch Redcurrant (Ribes rubrum), and White Currant (Ribes rubrum var. alba or Ribes glandulosum). The Blackcurrant, depicted on the left, is characterized by its glossy black berries, which are smaller than those of the common red currant. The plant bears large, green leaves, and its branches are adorned with delicate white flowers. Blackcurrants are native to Europe and northern Asia, and their tart, juicy berries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. In the middle, the Dutch Redcurrant (also known as the Redcurrant) is represented with its bright red berries and green leaves. This variety is believed to have originated in the Netherlands, and it is the most commonly cultivated currant in the United Kingdom. The Dutch Redcurrant is known for its sweet-tart flavor and is often used to make jams, jellies, and preserves. On the right, the White Currant is illustrated with its small, white berries and green leaves. This variety, also known as the White Corinth or White Ribes, is less common than the Blackcurrant and the Dutch Redcurrant. White currants have a delicate, sweet flavor with a hint of tartness, making them an excellent choice for desserts and baked goods. This stunning illustration, produced using the stipple engraving technique, showcases the intricate details of each currant variety's leaves, berries, and stems. The meticulous handcoloring further enhances the botanical accuracy and aesthetic appeal of the image. The illustration is a testament to the botanical knowledge and artistic skill of George Brookshaw and the Pomona Britannica's dedication to documenting the natural world.
