EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print, titled 'Beauty of Hants,' showcases the exquisite beauty of the apple variety, Malus domestica. Drawn by the skilled hand of J.L. Macfarlane and chromolithographed by the renowned Belgian firm Severeyns, this image is a testament to the artistic and horticultural achievements of the late 19th century. The intricate details of the apple's texture, color, and form are brought to life in vibrant, hand-colored hues. The 'Beauty of Hants' apple variety is believed to have originated in the English county of Hampshire. Its distinctive features include a rich, red-orange skin with golden stripes and a creamy white flesh. The apple's unique appearance and delicious taste made it a prized addition to orchards and gardens during the Victorian era. This print is part of the extensive collection of fruit and flower illustrations published in 'The Florist and Pomologist,' a popular horticultural journal edited by Robert Hogg in London between 1878 and 1884. The journal featured a total of 251 hand-colored and chromolithographic plates, which were drawn by Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, and lithographed by G. Severeyns and Stroobant in Belgium. This historical print not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of apple cultivation and the art of horticultural illustration during the Victorian era. Its vibrant colors and intricate details continue to captivate and inspire viewers over a century later.
