EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration showcases the Wormsley Bergamot Pear (Pyrus sp.), a delightful variety of pear belonging to the Rosaceae family, specifically the subfamily Maloideae and the genus Pyrus. Dated back to the 19th century, this illustration is a testament to the rich horticultural heritage of that era. The plant is depicted in its full glory, with its lush green foliage and the beautifully textured, elongated fruit adorned with a subtle blush of color. The Wormsley Bergamot Pear, also known as the Bergamot Pear or the Wormsley Seedling, is an edible pear cultivar that was discovered in the late 18th or early 19th century at Wormsley, near Windsor in England. The fruit of this pear is unique for its bergamot-like aroma, which sets it apart from other pear varieties. This illustration is a prime example of the intricate detail and artistry that characterized botanical illustrations during the 19th century. It was most likely produced during the tenure of William Hooker (1785-1865) as the curator of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, making it a valuable addition to the rich collection of botanical records from that period. As a member of the angiosperm class, the Wormsley Bergamot Pear is a flowering plant, and as a eudicot, it belongs to the Rosid clade of the Rosids subclass. This illustration offers a glimpse into the complex botanical relationships and classifications that have shaped our understanding of the natural world. The Wormsley Bergamot Pear is not only a beautiful and fragrant fruit but also a fascinating piece of botanical history. This illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world, a practice that continues to inspire and inform our appreciation for the wonders of nature.
