EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the lush beauty of the ripe green grapes, vine, and leaf of the End Sweet Water Grape (Vitis vinifera), as depicted in Charles McIntosh's Flora and Pomona published in 1829. The Scottish gardener and author, McIntosh, was renowned for his work with European aristocracy and royalty, and his extensive knowledge of horticulture is evident in this stunning botanical representation. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith, captures the intricate details of the grape vine's tendrils, the glossy green leaves, and the plump, juicy grapes that hang in clusters, ready for harvest. The grapes are identified as End Sweet Water Grapes, a variety of Vitis vinifera, which was likely prized for its sweet and refreshing taste. The illustration was engraved by Watts, adding an additional layer of artistry to the piece. The 19th century botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of nature, but also to the dedication and expertise of the artists and scientists of the time who sought to document and preserve the natural world. This illustration is a rare and valuable glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the horticultural practices and botanical knowledge of the early 19th century.
