EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured woodblock engraving is a beautiful depiction of the Lemon, Citrus medica, from James Main's Popular Botany published by Orr and Smith in London in 1835. James Main (1775-1846) was a renowned Scottish gardener, botanist, and writer, whose works were highly regarded for their accuracy and aesthetic appeal. The illustration showcases the lemon in both its fruiting and flowering stages. At the center, a ripe lemon sits atop a branch, its bright yellow rind contrasting against the lush green leaves. The sectioned view of the fruit reveals its juicy segments and seeds. Surrounding the lemon, delicate white flowers bloom, their petals unfurling to reveal the intricacies of their structure. The stamen, the male reproductive organ of the flower, is highlighted in this illustration. Each stamen consists of a filament and an anther, which produces pollen. The anthers are shown in the process of dehiscing, releasing the pollen grains into the air for wind or insects to carry to the stigma of another flower for pollination. This botanical illustration is not only a testament to Main's meticulous attention to detail but also a visual representation of the complex interplay between the various parts of the lemon plant. The handcoloured technique adds an extra layer of beauty to the already captivating image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art.
