EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of botanical history - the Tomato Plant from 1735. Created by Elizabeth Blackwell, an early English naturalist and talented engraver, this line engraving is taken from her renowned book "A Curious Herbal" published in London during the same year. The intricate details captured in this artwork highlight Blackwell's expertise in botany and her dedication to documenting various plant species. The Tomato (poma amoris), as depicted in this print, stands out with its vibrant colors and distinctive shape. Known as the "love apple" during that era, it symbolizes both beauty and fertility. This image serves as a testament to the rich cultural significance attached to tomatoes throughout history. Elizabeth Blackwell's contribution to the field of biology cannot be overstated. Her meticulous engravings not only served as visual aids for fellow botanists but also played a crucial role in expanding our understanding of plants' anatomy and characteristics. Displayed within the Carousel Collection by Granger Art on Demand, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent of Elizabeth Blackwell and the scientific importance of her work. It serves as a reminder of how art can intersect with science seamlessly, creating pieces that are visually stunning while contributing valuable knowledge about our natural world.
