EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the ripe and green fruit of the Grove End Scarlet Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa), a variety that was highly prized during the 19th century. The illustration, created by botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith and engraved by F.W. Smith, was originally published in Charles McIntosh's Flora and Pomona in 1829. McIntosh (1794-1864), a Scottish gardener to European aristocracy and royalty, and author of many books on gardening, curated this comprehensive work on the cultivation of fruits, flowers, and ornamental plants. The Grove End Scarlet Strawberry is depicted in its prime, with some fruit fully ripe and others still green, showcasing the progression from maturity to readiness for harvest. The vibrant red color of the ripe fruit contrasts beautifully with the lush green leaves and stems, highlighting the intricate details of the strawberry's structure. Edwin Dalton Smith was a renowned botanical artist who drew for various horticultural publications, including those of Robert Sweet and Benjamin Maund. His meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of his subjects made his illustrations invaluable resources for botanical research and gardening enthusiasts. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical art and horticulture during the 19th century, providing a fascinating look at the cultivation and appreciation of the Grove End Scarlet Strawberry and other fruit varieties during this period.
