EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "Doyenne du Comice, Souvenir du Congres, Beurre Superfin" transports us back to the 19th century when fruit growing was both an art and a science. The image showcases three exquisite pears: the Doyenne du Comice, Souvenir du Congres, and Beurre Superfin varieties. The attention to detail in this botanical illustration is truly remarkable. Each pear is depicted with precision and vibrant colors that make them almost leap off the page. It's evident that the artist took great care in capturing every nuance of these fruits' shapes, textures, and hues. This print originally appeared as an illustration for "The Fruit Growers Guide" by John Wright with illustrations by Miss May Rivers in Virtue between 1891-94. It serves as a testament to the importance of documenting and sharing knowledge about different fruit varieties during that era. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork also offers insights into botany and natural history. It reminds us of how scientific exploration played a crucial role in understanding our world's diverse flora. Moreover, it highlights the intersection between science and food production—an area where advancements continue to shape our modern agricultural practices. As we admire this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, let it serve as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with nature's bountiful offerings—particularly when it comes to delectable fruits like these magnificent pears.
