EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Warners King Apple Variety - A Visual Delight from the Florist and Pomologist 2. Description: This image showcases the exquisite beauty of the Warners King apple variety, as depicted in a chromolithograph print from The Florist and Pomologist, published between 1878 and 1884. The print, drawn by J.L. Macfarlane, is a stunning testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time. 3. Background: The Florist and Pomologist, a comprehensive work on fruit and flowers, was published in London by Robert Hogg. The publication featured 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates, meticulously drawn by Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, and lithographed by G. Severeyns and Stroobant in Belgium. 4. The Apple: The Warners King apple, a variety of Malus domestica, is depicted in this print with exceptional detail. Its vibrant red skin, speckled with small yellow dots, surrounds a golden-yellow flesh. The apple's stem is long and curved, adding to its allure. 5. Technique: Chromolithography, an advanced printing technique of the time, allowed for the rich colours and intricate details in this print. The process involved transferring the design onto limestone plates, which were then inked and pressed onto paper. 6. Historical Significance: The Florist and Pomologist was a significant contribution to the field of horticulture during the Victorian era. Its detailed illustrations provided a visual record of various fruit and flower varieties, contributing to the advancement of agriculture and botanical research. 7.
