EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print, titled "Peach Pear, Pyrus communis cultivar," is a beautiful example of horticultural art from the late 19th century. Published between 1878 and 1884 as part of "The Florist and Pomologist," a comprehensive work on fruit and flowers, this print was created by a team of skilled artists and lithographers. The image features a Peach Pear, a unique cultivar of the common pear tree (Pyrus communis). The fruit, with its distinctive shape and intricate texture, is depicted in exquisite detail. The peach pear's smooth, velvety surface is delicately shaded, and its delicate blush tones are brought to life through the meticulous application of hand-applied watercolors. The print was produced by Robert Hogg's publishing house in London, which was renowned for its high-quality botanical illustrations. The illustrations were drawn by a talented team of artists, including Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane. The lithography was expertly executed by G. Severeyns, Pannemaeker, and Stroobant, renowned Belgian lithographers of the time. The intricacy and detail of this print are a testament to the dedication and expertise of the team behind it. The chromolithographic process, which involved the transfer of multiple colors from separate lithographic stones, allowed for a level of detail and vibrancy that was unmatched by other printing techniques of the time. This Peach Pear print is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document. It provides a glimpse into the horticultural practices and artistic techniques of the late 19th century. As part of "The Florist and Pomologist," it was likely used by horticulturists, botanists, and collectors to identify and study various fruit cultivars. Today, it remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of horticulture and botanical illustration.
