EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored plate, titled "Two Peaches: Whole and Section," is an engraving from Franz Antoine's "Abbildungen von 51 Pfirsich-Sorten, nach der Natur," published in 1817. The meticulously detailed illustration showcases two peaches, one presented whole and the other cut in half, revealing its juicy, intricately patterned sections. Franz Antoine, a renowned botanical artist, created this work as part of a larger series dedicated to depicting 51 varieties of peaches. The plates in this collection were produced using the collaborative efforts of Antoine and the engraver, G. Bohm. Each illustration was carefully crafted to accurately represent the natural appearance of the peaches, showcasing their unique textures, colors, and forms. The hand-colored technique employed in this plate adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the already stunning depiction of the peaches. The rich hues of the fruit, from the warm, golden tones of the whole peach to the rosy blush of its sections, are brought to life through the skilled application of color. This beautiful plate not only serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of Franz Antoine and G. Bohm, but also provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of peaches during the early 19th century. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the illustration make it a captivating addition to any collection focused on botanical art or the history of fruit cultivation.
