EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Sweet Crabapple or Garland Crab, Malus coronaria. Originally published in the esteemed Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine in London, 1818, this botanical illustration captures the intricate details of this charming fruit tree. The Sweet Crabapple, also known as the Garland Crab, is a member of the Rosaceae family, and is distinguished by its small, round, and sweet fruits. The tree itself is characterized by its spreading habit and delicate pink or white flowers that bloom in the spring. The fruit, which appears in late summer, is often used for jellies, jams, and pies due to its sweet and tart flavor. The botanical illustration masterfully depicts the various elements of the Sweet Crabapple tree. The engraving captures the delicate petals of the flowers, the intricate veining on the leaves, and the small, round fruits that hang in clusters. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of detail and vibrancy to the illustration, bringing the tree to life and highlighting its unique features. The Sweet Crabapple was a popular ornamental tree in Victorian gardens, and its inclusion in the Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine reflects its cultural significance during that time. This beautiful botanical illustration serves as a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the botanical world during the early 19th century. Whether appreciated for its ornamental value or its culinary uses, the Sweet Crabapple remains a beloved plant in the world of botany and horticulture.
