EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Avant-Peche," is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Pomona Franconica" by Johann Mayer of Wurzburg, published between 1776 and 1801. The illustration showcases three exquisite varieties of Prunus sp., specifically the Early White Peach (1) and Early Troy Peach (2). The Early White Peach, depicted on the left, is characterized by its delicate, pinkish-white blossoms and the promise of succulent, white-fleshed fruit. The Early Troy Peach, on the right, boasts double pink flowers, a testament to its unique and alluring beauty. Both peach varieties are part of the Rosaceae family, which includes a diverse range of flowering plants, and are specifically classified as Eudicots, or Asterids, within the larger grouping of Angiosperms, Magnoliophyta. The Fabaceae family, more commonly known as the legume family, is the taxonomic home for the Prunus genus, which encompasses a wide array of fruit-bearing trees and shrubs, including peaches, cherries, plums, and almonds. The Amygdalideae and Amygdaleae subfamilies, to which Prunus belongs, are further classified under the broader grouping of the Rosids. Johann Mayer's meticulous illustration captures the essence of these early peach varieties, providing a glimpse into the botanical knowledge of the 19th century. The intricate details of the flowers, leaves, and fruit offer a window into the natural world, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom.
