EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is taken from Pomona Franconica, a horticultural treatise published between 1776 and 1801 by the renowned German botanical artist Johann Mayer of Wurzburg. Entitled "Petite cerise rouge precoce," this illustration showcases the small early red cherry (Prunus sp.), a member of the Rosaceae family, which is characterized by its edible fruits called pomes or drupes. The red cherry is a dicotyledon, a type of flowering plant that develops two seedlings from a single seed. As an eudicot, it belongs to the Rosales order and the Eurosid clade, and is further classified under the Rosid subclass, the Fabidae family, and the subfamily Amygdaleae or Amygdaloideae. The illustration captures the beauty of the cherry tree in its full bloom, with delicate pink flowers adorning the branches against a backdrop of lush green foliage. The small, round, bright red cherries are depicted in various stages of maturity, some still clinging to the branches while others have fallen to the ground, ready to be harvested. The intricate details of the petals, sepals, and stamen are rendered with remarkable precision, providing a glimpse into the botanical wonders of the 19th century. Johann Mayer's Pomona Franconica was a significant contribution to the field of horticulture and botanical illustration, showcasing a wide range of fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. This illustration of the small early red cherry is a testament to Mayer's skill and dedication to capturing the natural world in all its splendor.
