EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph print showcases the Werders Golden Reinette apple, a variety of Malus domestica, or common apple. The image, drawn by Walter Hood Fitch and chromolithographed by Stroobant in Ghent, Belgium, is taken from The Florist and Pomologist, a comprehensive horticultural publication edited by Robert Hogg in London between 1878 and 1884. The work consisted of 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates, featuring both fruit and flowers, and was a collaborative effort between Fitch, Miss E. Regel, J.L. Macfarlane, G. Severeyns, and Stroobant. The Werders Golden Reinette apple is depicted in all its glory, with its golden-yellow skin adorned with red stripes and a rosy blush. Its shape is elongated and slightly asymmetrical, with a distinctive ribbed texture that adds to its unique character. The apple's size is moderate, making it an ideal size for both personal consumption and culinary uses. During the late 19th century, the production of high-quality chromolithographs allowed for detailed and accurate representations of botanical specimens, making them valuable tools for horticulturists, collectors, and enthusiasts alike. The intricate details of the Werders Golden Reinette apple in this print are a testament to the skill and artistry of the artists and printers involved in creating this beautiful work. Today, this historical print serves as a reminder of the rich horticultural heritage of the past and the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations.
