EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored stipple engraving showcases a stunning array of Peach varieties, all illustrated in intricate detail from the horticultural masterpiece, Pomona Britannica, published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in 1817. The illustration is the work of renowned botanical artist George Brookshaw. The illustration captures the essence of the Peach tree (Prunus persica) in its full splendor, with several varieties displayed. In the foreground, we see the late admirable peach, its luscious fruit hanging heavy with a rosy blush and a velvety texture. In the background, the double-mountain peach is depicted, its fruit boasting a more elongated shape and a deeper red hue. The red Magdalen peach, another variety, is also featured, its fruit displaying a warm, inviting orange-red color and a smooth, glossy surface. The intricate stipple engraving technique used in this illustration brings out the textures and patterns of the peach skin, making each fruit look incredibly lifelike. The delicate blossoms of the Peach tree are also captured in this illustration, adding to the overall beauty and charm of the image. This botanical representation not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of George Brookshaw but also provides a historical record of the Peach varieties that were popular during the early 19th century. The handcolored stipple engraving technique used in this illustration was a popular method during the 18th and 19th centuries for producing botanical illustrations. The process involved using a sharp stylus to create tiny dots on a copper plate, which were then inked and hand-colored to create the final image. This labor-intensive process resulted in highly detailed and visually stunning illustrations, making them highly sought-after by collectors and scholars alike.
