EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Mercer Cherry, scientifically known as Prunus avium, a beautiful and productive variety of wild cherry tree native to Europe and Asia. The image is based on a botanical illustration created by the skilled hand of William H. Prestele and published in the "Report of the Pomologist" by the US Department of Agriculture in 1892. The illustration was then reproduced as a chromolithograph by the renowned Hoen publishing company. The Mercer Cherry tree is named after John Mercer, a horticulturist who introduced this particular variety to the United States in the late 19th century. The tree is known for its attractive, dark purple-red foliage and its abundant, sweet, and juicy cherries. The cherries are medium to large in size, with a bright red color and a firm, glossy surface. They have a delicious, sweet taste with a hint of tartness, making them a favorite among fruit lovers. The Mercer Cherry tree is also notable for its hardiness and resistance to diseases, making it a popular choice for orchards and home gardens. The tree grows to be about 20-30 feet tall and has a spreading, rounded shape. It is a self-fertile tree, which means that it does not require a second tree for pollination. This exquisite chromolithograph not only showcases the beauty of the Mercer Cherry tree but also serves as a testament to the remarkable advancements in botanical illustration and printing techniques during the late 19th century. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of horticulture and the passion for plant exploration that drove botanists and horticulturists of that era.
