EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the luscious ripe fruit and vibrant leaves of the Coe's Golden Drop Plum (Prunus species), as depicted in Charles McIntosh's "Flora and Pomona" published in 1829. McIntosh, a Scottish gardener to European aristocracy and royalty, was a prolific author of numerous gardening books. The illustration was meticulously drawn by Edwin Dalton Smith and expertly engraved by F.W. Smith. The botanical accuracy and artistic detail of the illustration are a testament to the skill and dedication of these talented artists. The Coe's Golden Drop Plum is a beautiful and highly prized variety of plum, characterized by its golden-yellow fruit with a deep red blush and juicy, sweet flesh. The large, oval leaves are a rich green color with a slight gloss, and the tree bears its fruit in large clusters. This illustration offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the horticultural knowledge and artistic sensibilities of the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Coe's Golden Drop Plum to life, making it a valuable addition to any botanical or horticultural collection. The handcolored technique adds an extra layer of depth and beauty to the illustration, making it a true work of art.
