EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Mill Hill Hamburgh and Dutch," is an exquisite representation of two distinctive grape varieties, Hamburgh and Dutch Hamburgh, as depicted in "The Garden Companion and Florist's Guide," published in 1852. The illustration was meticulously drawn and zincographed by the talented botanical artist, C.T. Rosenberg, for Thomas Moore's renowned horticultural publication. The Mill Hill Hamburgh grape (Vitis vinifera) is shown on the left side of the print, with its large, dark-purple clusters of grapes. This grape variety was popular in Europe during the 19th century and was known for its high-quality table grapes. The name "Mill Hill" likely refers to the location where the grapes were grown, as the term "mill hill" was often used to denote a hill near a mill or water source. On the right side of the print, the Dutch Hamburgh grape (Vitis vinifera) is illustrated. This grape variety, also known as the Muscat of Hamburg, is characterized by its elongated, golden-yellow grapes with a distinctive musky aroma. The name "Dutch" in this context is believed to refer to the grape's Dutch origin, as it was first introduced to England from the Netherlands in the late 16th century. The intricate details of the grape clusters, stems, and leaves in this print are a testament to Rosenberg's exceptional artistic skills and the high-quality production techniques of the time. This historical image offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich horticultural heritage of the 19th century and the importance of grape cultivation during that era. The "Mill Hill Hamburgh and Dutch" print is a valuable addition to any collection of botanical illustrations or for those with an interest in the history of grape cultivation and viticulture.
