EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 49 from Pomona Londinensis: A Magnificent Nineteenth Century Illustration of Corylus avellana, the Cob Nut or Common Hazel This exquisite botanical illustration, Plate 49 from Pomona Londinensis, showcases the Cob Nut or Common Hazel (Corylus avellana) in all its glory. Dated between 1779 and 1832, this masterpiece was created during the height of the botanical illustration movement in Europe. The illustration is the work of renowned botanist and illustrator, William Hooker, who meticulously captured the intricate details of this edible plant. The Cob Nut is a flowering plant belonging to the Betulaceae family, order Fagales, class Eudicot, and subclass Rosids. It is an angiosperm, meaning it produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. The plant is a deciduous shrub or small tree, growing up to 15 meters tall, with a distinctive bark that peels off in thin ribbons. The Cob Nut is native to Europe and western Asia. The illustration reveals the various parts of the Cob Nut plant, from its leaves and buds to its flowers and fruits. The Cob Nut produces male and female flowers on separate plants. The female flowers develop into edible nuts, enclosed in a husk or cob. These nuts are a rich source of nutrition, containing protein, healthy fats, and essential minerals. They have been an important food source for humans and animals for centuries. The Cob Nut illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, captured in stunning detail by one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the nineteenth century. This precious piece is held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, a treasure trove of botanical knowledge and history.
