EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is a beautiful representation of the German Morello Cherry, or Prunus cerasus, as depicted in Johann Mayer's Pomona Franconica, published between 1776 and 1801. The illustration, titled "Griotte d'Allemagne," showcases the intricate details of the cherry tree's flowers in their full bloom. The German Morello Cherry is a variety of the common morello cherry, which belongs to the Rosaceae family, specifically the subfamily Prunoideae, and the genus Prunus. It is an eudicot, angiosperm, and a member of the Rosid clade, order Rosales. The tree is characterized by its small, dark red to black cherries, which are often used for culinary purposes, particularly in the production of sour cherries and red wine. The illustration captures the tree's delicate flowers, which are arranged in racemes and have a distinctive five-petaled structure. The sepals are green and the petals are white with a pink tinge, with a prominent yellow anther at the center. The tree itself is depicted with its gnarled branches and heart-shaped leaves. Johann Mayer, the illustrator, was a renowned botanical artist from Wurzburg, Germany. His work, Pomona Franconica, is a comprehensive encyclopedia of fruit trees and their cultivation, featuring over 600 illustrations. This illustration of the German Morello Cherry is a testament to Mayer's exceptional talent and dedication to documenting the natural world.
