EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph print, titled "Schoolmaster," showcases the stunning beauty and intricacy of the Apple cultivar, Malus domestica. Drawn by the skilled hand of Annie A. Laxton and chromolithographed by the renowned Belgian firms Stroobant and Ghent, this image is part of the comprehensive collection "The Florist and Pomologist," published by Robert Hogg in London between 1878 and 1884. The set consisted of 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates, featuring a diverse array of fruit and flowers, meticulously documented for horticultural and artistic purposes. The Schoolmaster apple cultivar, as depicted in this print, is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the time. Its rich, red hue and golden speckles create a visually appealing contrast, while the delicate details of the apple's texture and stem are rendered with remarkable precision. The intricate background, adorned with leaves and other apple varieties, adds depth and context to the image. The Schoolmaster apple cultivar, like many others, was an essential part of the Victorian-era fascination with fruit and flowers. The publication of "The Florist and Pomologist" was a significant contribution to the horticultural world, providing a detailed record of various cultivars and their unique characteristics. This print, in particular, serves as a captivating reminder of the beauty and intrigue that surrounded the study and cultivation of apples during this period. The collaboration between Laxton, Fitch, Regel, Macfarlane, Severeyns, and Stroobant resulted in a stunning visual representation of the Schoolmaster apple cultivar, which continues to captivate audiences today. This print is not only a valuable historical document but also a testament to the artistry and dedication of those who documented the natural world during the late 19th century.
