EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Honfleur melon, a now-extinct ancient variety of melon from Normandy, France. The image is a handcoloured steel engraving created by the French School in the 19th century and printed by F. Chardon. It was originally featured in Achille Comtes Musee d Histoire Naturelle (Museum of Natural History) in Paris in 1854. The Honfleur melon, also known as "Le sucrin de Honfleur" was a hybrid variety of Cucumis melo that has unfortunately disappeared over time. This unique fruit was highly regarded for its exquisite taste and texture, making it an integral part of French culinary heritage. The detailed illustration beautifully captures the intricate details of this rare fruit, highlighting its vibrant colors and distinctive shape. The image serves as a valuable historical record not only for botany enthusiasts but also for those interested in natural history and scientific methods. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our diverse food supply and botanical heritage. The Honfleur melon's disappearance serves as a poignant reminder to cherish and protect our agricultural treasures. This print from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into the past while igniting curiosity about lost varieties like the Honfleur melon. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty found within nature's bounty and humanity's ongoing quest to understand it better.
