EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the White or Common Muscadine Grape (Vitis rotundifolia), with its lush green vine, leaves, and clusters of grapes. The illustration, created by botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith and engraved by F.W. Smith, is taken from Charles McIntosh's renowned horticultural publication, "Flora and Pomona," published in 1829. Charles McIntosh (1794-1864), a Scottish gardener to European aristocracy and royalty, was an accomplished author of numerous gardening books. Edwin Dalton Smith was a skilled botanical artist who drew for notable figures such as Robert Sweet and Benjamin Maund. Together, they produced this stunning representation of the White Muscadine Grape, a variety that continues to be cultivated in the southern United States. The illustration captures the intricate details of the grape vine's tendrils, the undulating shape of the green leaves, and the plump, juicy grapes that hang in clusters. The handcolored technique adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. The White Muscadine Grape, also known as the Common Muscadine, is a native grape variety of the southeastern United States. It is known for its hardiness, ability to thrive in hot and humid conditions, and unique musky flavor. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich botanical history of the 19th century and the meticulous work of two talented artists.
