EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful and intricately detailed chromolithograph print, titled "Cherries: Bedford Prolific and Bigarreau Gros Coeuret," is an exquisite example of the horticultural illustrations featured in "The Florist and Pomologist," a renowned publication by Robert Hogg in London, published between 1878 and 1884. The illustration, drawn by J.L. Macfarlane and chromolithographed by Severeyns in Brussels, showcases two cherries varieties, the Bedford Prolific and Bigarreau Gros Coeuret, from the Prunus species. The Bedford Prolific cherry tree is depicted on the left side of the print, boasting lush green foliage and clusters of plump, red cherries. This variety was known for its heavy yields and was widely cultivated during the late 19th century. On the right side of the print, the Bigarreau Gros Coeuret cherry tree is illustrated with its dark green leaves and large, deep-red cherries. This variety is part of the Bigarreau group, which is known for its high sugar content and excellent flavor. The meticulous attention to detail in this print is evident in the delicate shading and precise coloring, which brings out the unique textures and characteristics of each cherry variety. The historical significance of this print lies in its role as a record of the horticultural advancements and cultivars of the late 19th century. This print is one of the 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates of fruit and flowers that were produced for "The Florist and Pomologist," making it an invaluable resource for horticulturists, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the beauty and diversity of nature.
