EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is taken from Pomona Franconica, a horticultural publication created by the renowned German botanical artist Johann Mayer of Wurzburg between 1776 and 1801. Entitled "Fleur de Cerisier a fruit rond," or "Round-Fruited Cherry," this illustration showcases the beauty and intricacy of the Prunus sp. (Cherry) flower and its round, succulent fruit. The Prunus genus, part of the Rosaceae family, is a diverse group of flowering plants commonly known as cherries. This particular species is an eudicot, a type of angiosperm that possesses two embryonic seed leaves, or cotyledons, upon germination. The Prunus sp. is also a rosid, a subclass of the eurosids, and a member of the fabidae and amygdaleae tribes. The illustration depicts the flower in full bloom, its delicate petals unfurled to reveal the intricately detailed stamen and pistil. The round fruit, ripe and ready to be picked, hangs from the branch, its glossy surface a testament to the tree's abundant production. Mayer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the illustration, from the veining on the leaves to the fine hairs on the stems. His work, a product of the 19th century, serves as a reminder of the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the natural world. This illustration is a valuable addition to any collection of botanical art, providing not only a visual representation of the Round-Fruited Cherry but also a glimpse into the past, when the study of nature was a labor of love and dedication.
