EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 62: Annona cheremoya, Custard Apple This exquisite illustration is a testament to the natural beauty and intrigue of the Annona cheremoya, also known as the custard apple. Created by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn in the late 19th century, this charming print is held at the Natural History Museum in London. The Annona cheremoya is a member of the Annonaceae family, which is part of the larger order Magnoliales, and the class Eudicot. This fruit is native to Central and South America and belongs to the Magnoliidae family, which includes flowering plants with opposite or whorled leaves and separate male and female flowers. The custard apple is a unique and delicious fruit, with a green, bumpy exterior that conceals a creamy, sweet, and custard-like interior. The fruit's texture and taste are reminiscent of a blend between a banana and a pineapple, making it a popular and beloved fruit in many parts of the world. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a skilled botanical illustrator of her time, and her work showcases the attention to detail and artistry that was required to accurately depict the intricacies of various plant species. In this illustration, the Annona cheremoya's leaves, flowers, and fruit are rendered with remarkable precision and beauty. The custard apple is not only a delight to the senses but also holds cultural and historical significance. It has been cultivated for centuries and has been used in traditional medicine and cuisine in various parts of the world. Today, it remains a popular fruit, enjoyed for its unique taste and nutritional benefits. This print not only serves as a visual representation of the Annona cheremoya but also as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of botanical illustration during the 19th century.
