EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 38 from Pomona Londinensis (1818) presents a stunning and intricately detailed illustration of the Green Gage Plum (Prunus sp.) by the renowned botanist and illustrator, William Hooker. This exquisite plate, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the beauty and complexity of this edible fruit from the Rosaceae family. The Green Gage Plum, also known as the European Plum or the Gage, is a cultivar of Prunus domestica, which belongs to the subfamily Amygdaleae, order Rosales, class Eudicotyledons, and the division Magnoliophyta. This plant is a flowering angiosperm, meaning it produces seeds enclosed in an ovary that develops into a fruit. The Green Gage Plum is distinguished by its ovate-oblong shape, greenish-yellow color, and velvety texture. The fruit is small to medium-sized, and its delicate, sweet flavor is highly prized in European cuisine. The plant itself is a deciduous tree, growing up to 10 meters tall, with a spreading habit and white, fragrant flowers. This illustration, created between 1779 and 1832, is a testament to the meticulous botanical work of the 19th century. Hooker's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the plum's veins, seeds, and the delicate petals of its flower. The illustration also includes a cross-section view of the fruit, providing a comprehensive view of its internal structure. The Green Gage Plum holds a significant place in European horticulture and culinary traditions, and this illustration serves as a reminder of the rich botanical knowledge that was being documented during the 19th century. The Pomona Londinensis, or "London Pomona," was a comprehensive work that documented over 500 fruit-bearing plants, making it an invaluable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and food historians alike.
