EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithographic print depicts the Bigarreau Napoleon cherry variety, a beloved Prunus fruit celebrated for its exquisite taste and distinctive appearance. Drawn by the skilled hand of J.L. Macfarlane and chromolithographed by the renowned Belgian firms Stroobant and Ghent, this image is part of The Florist and Pomologist, a comprehensive horticultural publication published in London between 1878 and 1884. The Bigarreau Napoleon cherry is a popular cultivar, known for its dark red color and heart-shaped fruit. Its history can be traced back to the late 19th century, a time when advancements in horticulture and botanical illustration led to an increased appreciation for the beauty and diversity of fruit and flowers. This print is one of 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates that make up The Florist and Pomologist. The publication was a collaborative effort between three talented illustrators - Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane - and two skilled lithographers - G. Severeyns and Stroobant. Together, they created a visually stunning and historically significant record of the fruit and flowers of the time. The intricate details of the Bigarreau Napoleon cherry in this print are a testament to the artists' skill and the advanced techniques of chromolithography. The vibrant colors and lifelike textures bring the cherry to life, transporting us back to a time when the appreciation for the natural world was a source of inspiration and wonder. Today, this print serves as a reminder of the rich history of horticulture and the importance of preserving and celebrating the beauty of the natural world. Whether displayed in a home or used as a reference for botanical studies, this print continues to captivate and inspire.
