EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print, titled "Plum cultivars: Belle de Louvain and Boulouf," is an exquisite example of horticultural illustration from the late 19th century. Drawn by the skilled hand of Miss E. Regel and chromolithographed by Stroobant in Ghent, Belgium, this image is part of the comprehensive collection "The Florist and Pomologist," published by Robert Hogg in London between 1878 and 1884. This set consisted of 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates, documenting a diverse range of fruit and flowers. The focus of this particular print is on two plum cultivars: Belle de Louvain and Boulouf. Both belong to the Prunus domestica species, and their intricate details are rendered with remarkable accuracy and beauty. The Belle de Louvain plum is depicted with its large, oval shape and vibrant red-purple skin, while the Boulouf plum is shown with its smaller size, yellow-green skin, and distinctive stripes. The artistry of this print is noteworthy, as it captures the essence of these plum cultivars, providing a visual record that is both historically significant and aesthetically pleasing. The meticulous attention to detail, the rich colours, and the high-quality production techniques employed by the artists and chromolithographers of the time are evident in this image. This print not only serves as a testament to the horticultural advancements of the late 19th century but also as a beautiful work of art that continues to inspire and delight. The collaboration between Miss Regel, Walter Hood Fitch, J.L. Macfarlane, G. Severeyns, and Stroobant resulted in a collection that remains an invaluable resource for horticulturists, historians, and art enthusiasts alike.
