EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print showcases the exquisite Wyedale Plum cultivar (Prunus domestica), a beloved fruit variety from the late 19th century. Published as part of The Florist and Pomologist, a comprehensive horticultural work by Robert Hogg in London between 1878 and 1884, this print is one of the 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates that captured the beauty and diversity of fruit and flowers during that era. The meticulously detailed illustration of the Wyedale Plum was drawn by skilled artists Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, while the vibrant colours were expertly lithographed by G. Severeyns and Stroobant in Belgium. The result is a captivating image that invites us to appreciate the allure of this plum cultivar in its prime. The Wyedale Plum, with its rich, velvety texture and deep, enticing hue, was a popular choice for gardeners and fruit enthusiasts during the Victorian era. This print serves as a testament to the dedication and passion for horticulture during that time, as well as the artistic prowess of the illustrators and printers who brought these botanical wonders to life. As we admire the intricacies of the Wyedale Plum's bloom and form in this beautiful chromolithograph, we are transported back to a time when the pursuit of knowledge and beauty in nature was a cherished pastime. This historical treasure not only showcases the Wyedale Plum's charm but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of horticulture and the art of botanical illustration.
