EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithographic print depicts the Champion Blackcurrant, Ribes nigrum, a variety of blackcurrant that was highly regarded during the late 19th century. The image was drawn by J.L. Macfarlane and chromolithographed by Stroobant in Ghent, Belgium, as part of The Florist and Pomologist, a comprehensive work on fruit and flowers published in London between 1878 and 1884. The publication featured 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates, with this particular plate being drawn by Walter Hood Fitch and E. Regel in addition to Macfarlane. The Champion Blackcurrant was renowned for its exceptional size and quality, with its large, glossy berries being deeply black in colour and rich in flavour. The plant itself is shown here in full bloom, with its distinctive white flowers adorning the branches. The intricate detail and vibrant colours of the print are a testament to the skill of the artists and lithographers involved in its creation. The Florist and Pomologist was an important work in the field of horticulture and botany during the late Victorian era, providing a detailed record of a wide range of fruit and flower species. The publication was produced during a time when there was a growing interest in the cultivation and improvement of fruit varieties, and the Champion Blackcurrant was just one of many new and exciting discoveries being made in the world of horticulture. Today, this beautiful print serves as a reminder of the rich history of plant cultivation and the importance of preserving records of plant species for future generations. The intricate detail and vibrant colours of the print continue to captivate viewers, making it a valuable addition to any collection of botanical art.
