This photograph, titled "Queen Pineapple / Gardener," dates back to 1871, offering a glimpse into the intriguing world of pineapple cultivation during the Victorian era. The image, captured by an unidentified photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a dedicated gardener tending to a magnificent queen pineapple. The queen pineapple, also known as the Abacos pineapple, is a rare and prized variety, characterized by its elongated shape and distinctive pointed top. This particular specimen is impressive in size, with its vibrant green skin and golden-yellow eyes promising a sweet and succulent fruit. The gardener, dressed in a simple yet practical outfit, is shown carefully examining the pineapple, ensuring its health and growth. His focus and dedication are evident, as he gently touches the fruit, likely checking for ripeness or signs of damage. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, further emphasizing the tropical allure of pineapple cultivation. The photograph offers a fascinating window into the history of pineapple production, which was a significant industry during the Victorian era. Pineapples were considered a luxury item, and their cultivation was a source of pride for many gardeners and plantation owners. The intricate process of growing pineapples in greenhouses required a great deal of skill and patience, making the fruit a symbol of wealth and status. This photograph not only captures the beauty and allure of the queen pineapple but also highlights the dedication and craftsmanship of the gardener, who played a crucial role in bringing these exotic fruits to market. The image is a testament to the rich history of pineapple cultivation and the passion that continues to drive horticulturists and gardeners to this day.
