EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is a beautiful representation of the early cherry tree, Prunus avium, or as it was referred to in the nineteenth century, the "Cerise hative" or heart cherry. The illustration is taken from Pomona Franconica, a horticultural encyclopedia published between 1776 and 1801 by the renowned botanical artist Johann Mayer of Wurzburg, Germany. The illustration showcases the delicate and intricate details of the early cherry tree, with its vibrant pink and white blossoms unfurling in the springtime. The tree is a member of the Rosaceae family, specifically the subfamily Prunoideae, and the genus Prunus. Prunus avium is an eudicot, angiosperm, and a flowering plant that produces edible fruits, which are commonly known as cherries. The early cherry tree is a beloved plant in many parts of the world, particularly in Europe and North America, and has been cultivated for its delicious fruit and ornamental value for centuries. The tree is also known for its beautiful pink and white flowers, which typically bloom in the early spring before the leaves appear. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of Johann Mayer and the Pomona Franconica, which was one of the most comprehensive horticultural works of its time. It provides us with a glimpse into the natural world of the past and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom.
