EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the vibrant Red Astracan apple (Malus domestica), 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 detailed botanical representation. The illustration was created by the skilled botanical artist, Edwin Dalton Smith, and beautifully engraved by Watts. The Red Astracan apple is displayed in all its glory, with its deep red, round fruit adorned with a slight bloom. The leaves, also illustrated, are a rich green with a subtle veining pattern. The intricacy and attention to detail in this illustration are a testament to the artists' mastery of their craft. The Red Astracan apple was likely a popular variety during the 19th century, and this illustration provides a glimpse into the past when fruit cultivation was an art form. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its botanical accuracy but also in its beauty and artistic merit. This illustration is a reminder of the importance of preserving natural history through art and documentation. The Red Astracan apple, with its striking appearance, continues to be a favorite among apple enthusiasts today. This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history of apple cultivation and the role that botanical art played in documenting and celebrating the natural world.
