EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 13 from Pomona Franconica, Vol 3 (1801) by Johann Mayer of Wurzburg presents a stunning and intricately detailed illustration of a Prunus sp. plum, titled "La prune sans Noyau" or the "Stone-less Plum." This beautiful drawing showcases the European plum (Prunus domestica), a beloved edible fruit that belongs to the Rosaceae family, order Rosales, class Eudicot, and subclass Rosid. This particular plum variety is notable for its absence of a seed or stone, making it a unique and desirable fruit in the Prunus genus, which also includes peaches, cherries, and apricots. The illustration captures the plum in all its glory, from its delicate, five-petaled white flower at the top, to its oval-shaped, velvety-skinned fruit, adorned with a golden-yellow hue and a small calyx at the base. The plant itself is depicted with its branches laden with ripe fruit, against a backdrop of green foliage. Johann Mayer, a renowned botanical artist of the 19th century, meticulously rendered this illustration as part of his extensive work, Pomona Franconica, which documented a wide range of fruit-bearing plants. Mayer's illustrations were celebrated for their exceptional accuracy and artistic merit, making them an invaluable resource for botanical research and horticultural pursuits during the time. This image serves as a testament to the rich history of botanical illustration and our enduring fascination with the natural world. The European plum, with its delectable, stone-less fruit, remains a cherished food source and a beautiful addition to gardens and landscapes across the continent and beyond.
