EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "CURRANTS: Victoria (Red Currant) and White Dutch Black Naples (Black Currant)" from the year 1892, offers a glimpse into the rich history of currant cultivation. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to a Dutch orchard where two varieties of currants, Victoria (red) and White Dutch Black Naples (black), are proudly displayed. The Victoria currant, also known as the Red or Big Red currant, is a popular and decorative variety, characterized by its large, juicy, and bright red berries. It originated in Scotland in the late 18th century and was named after Queen Victoria in 1837. The Victoria currant became widely cultivated in Europe and North America due to its high yield and excellent taste. The White Dutch Black Naples currant, on the other hand, is a black currant variety with white berries. This rare and intriguing fruit is believed to have originated in the Netherlands, specifically in the city of Naples, around the late 19th century. The white color of the berries is due to a natural mutation, which makes them unique and visually striking. The photograph showcases these two currant varieties in their prime, ripe and ready for consumption. The Victoria currants are arranged in neat rows, their vibrant red color contrasting beautifully against the green leaves, while the White Dutch Black Naples currants are displayed in a separate basket, their white berries adding an ethereal touch to the scene. This photograph is not only a testament to the historical significance of currant cultivation but also a visual delight that invites us to appreciate the natural beauty and diversity of these fascinating fruits. The intricate details of the leaves, the rich colors of the berries, and the overall composition of the image make it a must-have for any history or fruit enthusiast's collection.
