EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, hailing from the Illustrated London News in 1862, showcases the International Exhibition of Fruits, Vegetables, and more, held in the esteemed Horticultural Society's gardens. The image, though unsigned, is a testament to the global reach and grandeur of this event. Besides the impressive domestic contributions, the exhibition boasted fruits and vegetables from various European countries, including France, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Hamburg, Altona, Sweden, and even Lapland. The English display was indeed magnificent, but it was met with formidable rivals from the continental specimens, all grown in the open air. The grouping of fruits in the image includes the Royal muscadine grapes, cultivated at Chiswick, as well as a pineapple, melon, and other select fruits from the collection exhibited by T. Solomons of Covent Garden. A prize was awarded for this fine display. Also featured are the Frankethal grapes, sourced from Chiswick gardens, which were the finest exhibited. This engraving, reminiscent of the 19th century, offers a glimpse into a cultural event of great significance. The International Exhibition of 1862, also known as the Great London Exposition or the World Fair, was an occasion where the world's produce was showcased, and this photograph print serves as a reminder of the rich history of horticulture and the global exchange of knowledge and resources.
