EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is taken from the renowned horticultural publication, Pomona Franconica, created by Johann Mayer of Wurzburg between 1776 and 1801. The illustration, entitled "Teton de Venus, Royale," or "Breast of Venus, Royal," showcases two varieties of peaches within the Prunus species: the Breast of Venus peach (Prunus persica var. Teton de Venus) and the Royal peach (Prunus persica var. Royale). The Prunus genus, belonging to the Rosaceae family, is a significant group of flowering plants within the eudicots, angiosperms, and magnoliophyta. These plants are characterized by their woody stems, alternate leaves, and showy flowers. The peach tree, specifically Prunus persica, is a popular fruit-bearing tree known for its sweet and juicy fruits. In this illustration, Mayer meticulously captures the intricacies of these peach varieties. The Breast of Venus peach is depicted with a unique, elongated shape, resembling the human breast, while the Royal peach is shown with a more traditional round shape. Both varieties display their vibrant, pinkish-red hue and velvety texture, indicative of their ripeness. Mayer's illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom during the 19th century. His precise attention to detail and artistic skill provide a captivating glimpse into the natural world, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of these peach varieties and the botanical knowledge of the time.
