EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Apple variety Herefordshire Beefing, also known as Malus domestica. The image is taken from The Florist and Pomologist, a comprehensive horticultural publication produced by Robert Hogg in London between 1878 and 1884. The work consisted of 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates, meticulously drawn by Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, and expertly lithographed by G. Severeyns and Stroobant in Belgium. The Herefordshire Beefing apple is a fascinating variety, with its distinctive red and yellow striped skin and large, round shape. The name "Beefing" is believed to have originated from the apple's firm, meaty texture. This apple was particularly popular in the late 19th century, and its inclusion in The Florist and Pomologist serves as a testament to its significance during that time. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the apple's unique characteristics, with its stem and leaves rendered in vibrant greens and reds. The background features a lush, green landscape, adding to the overall beauty and charm of the image. The Florist and Pomologist was an essential resource for horticulturists, fruit growers, and enthusiasts during the late Victorian era. Its publication marked a significant contribution to the field of fruit and flower illustration, and the high-quality chromolithographs continue to captivate viewers with their exquisite detail and artistic merit. This particular illustration of the Herefordshire Beefing apple is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artists and lithographers involved in creating The Florist and Pomologist. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and diversity of apples during a time when fruit cultivation was a source of great pride and innovation.
