EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor illustration, titled "Ribes sativum, or White and Red Currants," is a captivating representation of two varieties of currants, R. sativum, specifically the white and red types, as depicted in George Brookshaw's Full Instructions for the Young Artist, published in 1817. The illustration is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Currants (Ribes spp.) are angiosperms, flowering plants that produce fruit enclosed in an ovary. They belong to the order Saxifragales and the family Grossulariaceae. This particular illustration showcases the Eudicotyledonous nature of currants, with two seed leaves visible at the base of the stem. The long, slender stems bear clusters of small, elegant flowers, which give way to the familiar, juicy fruit. The red currant (Ribes rubrum) is depicted on the left side of the illustration, with its bright red, round berries. The white currant (Ribes alba), on the right, displays its translucent, white berries. Both varieties have been cultivated for centuries for their sweet, tart, and flavorful fruits. George Brookshaw's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors used to bring these plants to life. The illustration offers a glimpse into the rich botanical knowledge of the time, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the currant genus. This artwork remains an invaluable addition to the Botany Library's collection and a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world.
