EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a luscious Brunswick Fig, a historical variety of fig renamed in 1820 in honor of Caroline of Brunswick, who became the wife of George IV. The regal figure of Caroline, who was famously known for her ample figure, is reflected in the name change from the previous moniker, "Fat Lady." This photograph, taken in 1871, captures the essence of the Brunswick Fig's rich history and intriguing connection to the past. Caroline of Brunswick, who was the wife of the future King George IV from 1795 to 1820, was a controversial and larger-than-life figure. Her unconventional behavior and scandalous love affairs made her a popular subject of gossip and tabloid fodder during her time. When she came to the throne in 1820 as Queen Consort, the Brunswick Fig, a popular variety of fig, was renamed in her honor. The Brunswick Fig is a large, brown, and sweet fig with a rich, complex flavor. Its lush appearance and regal name are a fitting tribute to the enigmatic and intriguing figure of Caroline of Brunswick. This photograph, taken over 50 years after her death, serves as a reminder of the fascinating history behind this unique and delicious fruit variety. The Brunswick Fig's connection to Caroline of Brunswick is just one of many intriguing stories from the rich history of horticulture. This image invites us to explore the past and appreciate the stories behind the fruits and vegetables that grace our tables today.
