EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph, titled "Fruit Trees and Plants" is an exquisite illustration from Lorenz Oken's Universal Natural History (Allgemeine Naturgeschichte fur alle Stände), published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1841. The meticulously detailed print showcases a diverse array of fruit-bearing trees and plants, including some of the most well-known and beloved fruits from around the world. In the foreground, we see citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, and limes, their vibrant colors and glossy textures captured beautifully. Further back, we find the exotic rambutan, its spiky red exterior giving way to sweet, juicy fruit within. The guava tree, with its large, green fruit and distinctive leaves, stands proudly beside it. Other fruits depicted include the santol, langsat, quassia, krameria, and limeberry. The quassia tree, with its distinctive red bark, is particularly striking. The krameria, or Chilean guava, is shown in bloom, its small pink flowers adding a delightful touch of color. The lithograph also features a chestnut tree, its large, spiky leaves and brown, furrowed bark contrasting beautifully with the bright fruits. In the background, we see the simple elegance of a maple tree, its leaves turning the classic autumn colors of red and gold. This print is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural and culinary traditions that have developed around these fruits throughout history. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, it is a true work of art that continues to inspire and delight.
