EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 5 from Pomona Londinensis (1818) showcases a stunning and intricately detailed illustration of the True St. Germain Pear (Pyrus communis var. Moschata), also known as the Muscat or Moschatel Pear. This beautiful plant is a member of the Rosaceae family, which is part of the larger order Rosales, and the class Eudicotyledons, within the Angiosperms, Magnoliophyta division. The True St. Germain Pear is a deciduous tree or large shrub, bearing edible fruits that are green when unripe and turn yellow or brown when fully developed. The illustration, created by the renowned botanist and illustrator William Hooker, captures the essence of this pear variety in all its glory. Hooker, who was active from 1779 to 1832, was a significant figure in the field of botany, and his work Pomona Londinensis is a testament to his dedication and expertise. The illustration displays the pear tree in its entirety, with its branches laden with the pear fruits, each one carefully rendered with precision and attention to detail. The leaves, flowers, and buds are also depicted, providing a comprehensive representation of the plant's various features. The True St. Germain Pear is a popular and historically significant fruit, with records dating back to ancient Rome and Greece. Its name derives from its association with the monks of St. Germain des Prés in Paris, who were known for cultivating and preserving this particular pear variety. The fruit is prized for its unique musky aroma and sweet, meltingly soft texture when ripe. Today, the True St. Germain Pear remains an appreciated and cherished fruit, enjoyed for its delicious taste and historical significance.
