The image, drawn by the renowned botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch and expertly chromolithographed by Stroobant of Ghent, Belgium, captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of this unique apple variety. The Lanes Prince Albert apple, a cultivar of Malus domestica, was a popular variety during the late 19th century. Its distinct features include a bright red skin with yellow stripes and a golden-yellow flesh. The apple is known for its sweet, juicy, and aromatic flavor, making it a favorite among fruit enthusiasts. This print is part of an impressive collection of 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates of fruit and flowers, which also feature drawings by Miss E. Regel and J.L. Macfarlane. The meticulous attention to detail and the rich, vibrant colors of these prints showcase the artists' dedication to capturing the beauty and diversity of nature during the Victorian era. The Florist and Pomologist, published by Robert Hogg, was a significant contribution to the field of horticulture and botanical illustration. The publication showcased a wide range of fruits, flowers, and ornamental plants, providing valuable information for horticulturists, gardeners, and collectors. This historical print not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of horticulture and botanical illustration during the Victorian era. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the Lanes Prince Albert apple, as depicted in this print, continue to captivate and inspire us today.
