EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving titled "American Fruits" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a variety of exotic fruits from the Americas. The print is part of Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned Picture Book for Children, published between 1790 and 1830. The image captures our attention with its rich colors and intricate engravings. In the foreground, we see a birntragende Guajavabaum, or pear-bearing guava tree, adorned with ripe fruits hanging delicately from its branches. Next to it stands a stachelige Flaschenbaum, or spiky bottle tree, adding an intriguing touch to this botanical scene. Moving towards the center of the composition, our eyes are drawn to a brustförmige Breiapfel - a breast-shaped breadfruit - which adds an element of whimsy to this collection of American treasures. Surrounding these fascinating plants are various other fruits such as soursop (Annona muricata) and sapote (Achras mammosa), each depicted in meticulous detail. This print not only showcases the beauty of these American fruits but also serves as a historical artifact that highlights cross-cultural exchange during this period. It reminds us of how explorers brought back new discoveries from distant lands and introduced them into European society. Now preserved in private collections worldwide, this enchanting artwork by German School invites us to appreciate both nature's wonders and humanity's curiosity about distant lands through
