EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Galopin nectarine, a cultivar of Prunus persica, or common peach. The image, drawn by Walter Hood Fitch and chromolithographed by G. Severeyns in Brussels, is part of the extensive collection of fruit and flower illustrations published in "The Florist and Pomologist" between 1878 and 1884, in London by Robert Hogg. The Galopin nectarine is depicted in all its glory, with its velvety, deep red skin and juicy, golden-yellow flesh. The intricate details of the nectarine's texture, veins, and seeds are expertly captured, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. The print also includes a delicate, hand-drawn label with the name of the cultivar and its origin. The history of this print is as rich as the nectarine itself. The Florist and Pomologist was a leading horticultural publication of its time, featuring 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates. The illustrations were drawn by a team of skilled artists, including Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, and lithographed by G. Severeyns and Stroobant in Belgium. The result is a visually stunning and historically significant collection that showcases the beauty and diversity of fruit and flowers during the late Victorian era. Today, this print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving botanical knowledge and the art of botanical illustration. It also highlights the beauty and allure of the Galopin nectarine, a cultivar that continues to captivate fruit lovers with its unique and delicious characteristics.
