EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithographic print, titled "The Nectarine Peach, Prunus persica," is a stunning representation of the luscious and delectable nectarine, a variety of peach beloved for its smooth, velvety skin that lacks the fuzz found on traditional peaches. Drawn meticulously by J.L. Macfarlane and expertly chromolithographed by Stroobant in Ghent, this image is part of the comprehensive collection "The Florist and Pomologist," published by Robert Hogg in London between 1878 and 1884. The Florist and Pomologist was an impressive work, featuring a grand total of 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates of fruit and flowers. The collection was the collaborative effort of several skilled artists and lithographers, including Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, J.L. Macfarlane, G. Severeyns, and Stroobant. The intricate details of "The Nectarine Peach" print showcase the dedication and artistry of the creators. The rich, vibrant colours and precise shading bring the nectarine to life, inviting the viewer to imagine the juicy, succulent fruit in their hands. The print's historical significance lies in its role as a visual record of the horticultural advancements and artistic achievements of the late 19th century. This print is not only a testament to the beauty and allure of the nectarine but also a valuable piece of botanical and artistic history. The meticulous attention to detail and the harmonious blend of art and science make it a captivating addition to any collection focused on horticulture, botany, or the history of food and agriculture.
