EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph, titled "PEARS: Pitmaston Duchess Durondeau," transports us back to the late 19th century and the height of horticultural innovation. The Duchess of Pitmaston Durondeau was a renowned pear variety, celebrated for its exceptional quality and distinctive appearance. The fruit's elegant shape and golden-yellow skin, speckled with just the right amount of red blush, are on full display in this image. The photograph, taken in 1892, showcases the meticulous care and dedication of the orchardist in cultivating these precious fruits. The pears are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, each one carefully selected for its perfection, against a simple yet tasteful backdrop. The shallow depth of field draws our focus to the pears, while the soft focus on the background adds an ethereal quality to the scene. The Duchess of Pitmaston Durondeau was a favorite among the aristocracy and the gourmet elite of the time. Its rich, succulent flesh was said to melt in the mouth, and its delicate sweetness was unrivaled among pear varieties. This photograph is not only a testament to the beauty of the fruit but also to the artistry and passion of the horticulturists who cultivated it. As we gaze at this stunning image, we are transported back to a time when the cultivation of fine fruits was an art form, and the pursuit of perfection was a labor of love. The Duchess of Pitmaston Durondeau may no longer be grown today, but its legacy lives on in the memories of those who savored its unique taste and in the horticultural traditions it inspired.
