EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration, titled "Plate 2" and hailing from the distinguished work of George Brookshaw's "Pomona: Or, The Fruit Garden Illustrated," showcases an intriguing arrangement of three different varieties of raspberries. The topmost portion of the plate displays the White Antwerp raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Albifructus'), characterized by its pure white fruit and long, slender canes. The middle section presents the Common Raspberry (Rubus idaeus), a familiar and beloved fruit with its characteristic red, juicy berries and robust growth habit. The Red Antwerp raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Rubrifructus') is depicted at the bottom of the plate. This variety, also known as the Red Champagne raspberry, boasts bright red, elongated fruit and is a popular choice for cultivation due to its high yield and excellent flavor. This illustration, produced in 1817, is a testament to the intricacy and beauty of the Rosaceae family, specifically the Rubus genus, which includes raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. As angiosperms, dicotyledons, and eudicots, these flowering plants belong to the Magnoliophyta division and the Rosales order. The Rosid clade, a subgroup of the eurosids within the Fabidae family, encompasses the Rubus genus. The meticulous detail and artistry of this botanical print, coupled with its historical significance, make it an invaluable resource for both horticultural and botanical research. George Brookshaw's work, published over two centuries ago, continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the rich diversity of the plant kingdom.
