This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the luscious Moorpark Apricot (Prunus armeniaca), a beloved fruit variety discovered in the late 18th century. The illustration, created by botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith and engraved by F.W. Smith, is taken from Charles McIntosh's renowned horticultural publication, "Flora and Pomona," published in 1829. McIntosh, a Scottish gardener to European aristocracy and royalty, and author of numerous gardening books, meticulously documented the Moorpark Apricot's ripe fruit and leaves in this stunning illustration. The Moorpark Apricot tree is a beautiful sight, with its oblong, velvety-skinned fruit adorned with a rosy blush and golden-orange flesh. The leaves, depicted here in vibrant green, add to the tree's allure with their serrated edges and lobed shape. The intricate details of the Moorpark Apricot's fruit and leaves are a testament to the artists' skill and dedication to botanical accuracy. The illustration, created in the 19th century, serves as a historical record of this delectable fruit variety and a reminder of the rich horticultural knowledge of the time. The Moorpark Apricot remains a popular variety today, cherished for its rich flavor and luscious texture. This illustration is a beautiful reminder of the enduring appeal of this fruit and the importance of documenting the natural world for future generations.
