EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the lush beauty of Black Hamburg grapes and their accompanying vine leaf, as depicted in Charles McIntosh's renowned horticultural publication, "Flora and Pomona," published in 1829. The Scottish gardener and author, McIntosh, was a respected figure in European aristocratic and royal circles, and his extensive knowledge of gardening is reflected in the meticulous detail of this botanical artwork. The illustration, engraved by Watts and drawn by the skilled botanical artist, Edwin Dalton Smith, captures the allure of the Black Hamburg grape (Vitis vinifera) with its plump, dark-hued clusters of grapes, each one glistening with a sheen of dew or moisture. The vine leaf, also illustrated in the print, is a testament to the artist's ability to render the intricate veining and texture of the leaf, adding to the overall realism of the illustration. The Black Hamburg grape was a popular variety during the 19th century, and its inclusion in McIntosh's publication underscores the significance of this grape variety during that time. The illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history of horticulture and botanical exploration during the 19th century, and the important role that figures like McIntosh, Smith, and Sweet played in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
