EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite lithograph, titled "Apples, Three Varieties," is a beautiful representation of fruit cultivation in New York during the mid-19th century. Created by Ebenezer Emmons for the publication "Agriculture of New York: Vol. 3 - Fruits," this plate was produced in 1851. The intricate details of the apples' textures, colors, and stems are captured brilliantly in this artwork. The three varieties of apples depicted in this image showcase the rich diversity of apple cultivation during that era. The first apple on the left is the McIntosh, a popular variety known for its bright red skin and sweet, juicy flesh. The second apple, in the middle, is the Ben Davis, which was widely grown in New York and characterized by its greenish-yellow skin and tart, firm flesh. Lastly, the apple on the right is the Rome Beauty, recognized for its red-striped skin and sweet, mellow flavor. Emmons' "Agriculture of New York" series aimed to document the various agricultural practices and produce in the state. This particular plate not only demonstrates the artist's skill in capturing the essence of these apple varieties but also provides a glimpse into the agricultural landscape of New York during the mid-1800s. The intricate lithography process, which involves using a flat stone to transfer an image onto a surface, adds to the overall charm and historical significance of this artwork.
