EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Pear cultivar, Beurre Giffard (Pyrus communis), a variety that once graced orchards and gardens during the late 19th century. The image is taken from "The Florist and Pomologist," a comprehensive horticultural publication by Robert Hogg, published in London between 1878 and 1884. The work features an impressive collection of 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates, meticulously drawn by Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, and expertly lithographed by G. Severeyns, Pannemaeker, and Stroobant in Belgium. The Beurre Giffard pear is showcased in all its glory, with its delicate, velvety skin and the enticing promise of succulent, juicy fruit hidden beneath. The intricate details of the pear's texture, veins, and blossoms are beautifully rendered, making this print not only a testament to the artistic skills of the time but also an invaluable historical record of the horticultural world. During the Victorian era, such detailed and accurate botanical illustrations were essential for the advancement of horticulture and agriculture. "The Florist and Pomologist" was a crucial resource for growers, nurserymen, and collectors, providing them with the knowledge and inspiration to cultivate and preserve rare and exotic fruit and flower varieties. This image of the Beurre Giffard pear is a reminder of the rich history of horticulture and the importance of documenting the natural world for future generations. It also serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the talented individuals involved in the creation of "The Florist and Pomologist," whose work continues to inspire and intrigue us today.
