EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning title page is taken from the second volume of "Pomona Franconica," published by Johann Mayer of Wurzburg in 1779. The title, "Pomona Franconica, Hoc Est, Rariorum Fructum, Quas in Frantia, Sopprasus, Aliquot Incolarum, Aut Cultorum, Itemque Exotici Generis, In Hortis Wirceburgensibus Cultas, Oder Iconibus Illustrata," translates to "Pomona of Franconia, That Is, Rare Fruits, Which Were Grown by Some Inhabitants or Cultivators in Franconia, or of Exotic Species, Cultivated or Illustrated in the Gardens of Wurzburg." The image showcases an elegant baroque design, with intricate floral motifs and ornate typography. The central illustration depicts a bountiful fruit tree laden with various fruits, symbolizing the abundance and diversity of the fruits described in the text. The title is framed by a wreath of fruit and foliage, further emphasizing the theme of Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit trees and gardens. Johann Mayer was a renowned botanical illustrator and publisher in the late 18th century. His work, "Pomona Franconica," was one of the most comprehensive and accurate records of the fruits grown in Franconia during that time. This title page serves as an introduction to the rich and detailed documentation of the various fruits and their illustrations that follow in the volume. The intricacy and beauty of this title page are a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill that characterized the work of Johann Mayer and his contemporaries during the 19th century. This image offers a glimpse into the world of botanical documentation and illustration during this period, showcasing the importance of recording and preserving the natural world for future generations.
