EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored stipple engraving, taken from George Brookshaw's Pomona Britannica published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in 1817, showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed display of various gooseberry varieties. Gooseberries belong to the genus Ribes, specifically Ribes uva-crispa, and have been cultivated in Europe for centuries for their tart and juicy fruits. The illustration features a total of thirteen gooseberry varieties, each identified by its unique name. Among them are Alcock's Duke of York, Mill's Champion, Lomax's Victory, Hill's Sir Peter Teazle, Warrington Red, Mill's Langleyn Green, Tillotson's Seedling, Woodman's White, Smith, Warwickshire Conqueror, Keaton's Britannia, Arrowsmith's Ruler of England, and Hall's Porcupine. The meticulous stipple engraving technique used in this illustration highlights the textures and contours of the gooseberries, making each variety stand out distinctly. The rich colors added by hand further enhance the visual appeal of the image. The gooseberries are depicted in various stages of ripeness, showcasing their diverse hues and sizes. This illustration not only serves as a beautiful representation of the gooseberry varieties during the early 19th century but also holds historical significance as a testament to the botanical exploration and documentation of the time. The intricate details and high-quality production of this print reflect the dedication and expertise of George Brookshaw and the publishing house, Pomona Britannica.
