EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is taken from Pomona Franconica, a horticultural encyclopedia published between 1776 and 1801 by the renowned German botanical artist Johann Mayer of Wurzburg. Entitled "Petite Guigne noir," this illustration showcases the small blackheart cherry (Prunus sp.), a member of the Rosaceae family, which is characterized by its edible fruits called drupes. The illustration captures the intricacies of the cherry tree in stunning detail, with its delicate pink and white blossoms unfurling against the backdrop of glossy, dark leaves. The small, round black cherries, nestled among the branches, are depicted with a striking contrast between their deep, inky color and the lighter hues of the surrounding foliage. As a member of the Eudicot clade, the cherry tree is a flowering plant that belongs to the order Rosales, which also includes other well-known plants such as roses and almonds. The tree is a Dicotyledon, meaning it produces two seed leaves during germination. It is also an Angiosperm, which means it produces enclosed seeds, and a Magnoliophyta, which refers to its membership in the class of flowering plants. The Small Blackheart Cherry is a variety of the Amygdaleae or Almond family, and more specifically, the subfamily Amygdaloideae. This subfamily is characterized by its hard, woody seeds, enclosed in a fleshy fruit. The illustration is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the rich botanical knowledge that was being documented during the 19th century. Johann Mayer's Pomona Franconica was a groundbreaking work that showcased the latest advances in botanical illustration, and this illustration of the Small Blackheart Cherry is a prime example of his skill and artistry. It remains an invaluable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world.
