EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Golden Frogmore peach cultivar, a prized variety of Prunus persica, or the common peach. The image is taken from "The Florist and Pomologist," a comprehensive work on fruit and flowers published in London between 1878 and 1884. The illustration was drawn by J.L. Macfarlane and lithographed by G. Severeyns in Brussels. The Golden Frogmore peach was highly regarded during the late 19th century for its unique characteristics. With its attractive, golden-yellow skin and rich, juicy, and sweet flesh, it stood out among other peach cultivars. The intricate details of the peach's texture, veins, and blossoms are beautifully captured in this hand-coloured and chromolithographic plate. "The Florist and Pomologist" was a groundbreaking publication that showcased a wide range of fruit and flowers, featuring 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates. The work was drawn by a team of skilled artists, including Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, and lithographed by G. Severeyns and Stroobant in Belgium. The result is a visually stunning and historically significant collection that provides a glimpse into the horticultural advancements of the late Victorian era. This chromolithograph is not only a testament to the beauty and diversity of the Golden Frogmore peach but also a valuable historical record of the fruits and flowers that were cultivated and celebrated during this time. Its intricate details and vibrant colours continue to captivate and inspire, making it a must-have for horticulturists, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world.
