EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print showcases two exquisite plum cultivars, Diamond and Belgian Purple, from the horticultural masterpiece "The Florist and Pomologist" published by Robert Hogg in London between 1878 and 1884. The work consisted of 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates, meticulously drawn by Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, and expertly lithographed by G. Severeyns and Stroobant in Belgium. The Diamond plum (Prunus domestica 'Diamond') is depicted on the left, boasting a rich golden background that accentuates its unique, dark blue-black skin and golden-yellow flesh. This cultivar was renowned for its large size, excellent flavor, and attractive appearance. On the right, the Belgian Purple plum (Prunus domestica 'Belgian Purple') is displayed against a deep red background, highlighting its distinctive, dark purple skin and juicy, red flesh. This plum variety was prized for its exceptional taste and high yield, making it a popular choice among growers during the late 19th century. This print not only serves as a testament to the aesthetic appeal of these plum cultivars but also offers a glimpse into the rich horticultural history of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcase the dedication and passion of the artists and publishers involved in producing "The Florist and Pomologist," making it an invaluable resource for horticulturists, historians, and collectors alike.
