EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the luscious and elegant Duchesse de Mouchy pear variety, a treasured gem from the Pyrus communis species. The image is taken from the renowned horticultural publication, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, between 1867 and 1868. The Duchesse de Mouchy pear, with its rich history and allure, is depicted in the prime of ripeness, its golden hue glowing against the dark background. The intricate details of the pear's texture and the delicate veining on its skin are beautifully rendered, capturing the essence of this delectable fruit. The Duchesse de Mouchy pear is a product of the horticultural innovation and expertise of its time. Its origins are believed to date back to the early 19th century in France, where it was named after the Duchess of Mouchy, a noblewoman who was known for her love of gardening. This pear variety is celebrated for its unique combination of sweetness, juiciness, and firmness, making it a favorite among connoisseurs and horticulturists alike. This image not only serves as a testament to the beauty and allure of the Duchesse de Mouchy pear but also as a window into the rich horticultural history of Europe during the late 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the artistry of the handcoloured lithograph process further enhance the appeal of this precious depiction, making it a must-have for any garden or horticultural enthusiast's collection.
