EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" or "Picture Book for Children," published in Weimar in 1798, showcases the enchanting beauty of peach and apricot trees. The image features two distinct fruit-bearing trees: Peach tree, Prunus persica (1), with its velvety, juicy peaches, and Apricot tree, Prunus armeniaca (2), bearing ripe, golden apricots. The trees are adorned with delicate blossoms, the peach tree boasting pink and white petals, while the apricot tree displays soft, ivory blooms. The leaves of both trees are intricately detailed, their vibrant green hues adding a lively contrast to the muted tones of the stones and seeds. The peaches and apricots are depicted in various stages of maturity, from ripe, succulent fruit to the hard, brown stones encased within. These seeds, also known as pips or amygdalae, are an integral part of the fruit, symbolizing the potential for new growth and the continuation of life. This botanical illustration, with its meticulous attention to detail, serves as an educational tool, providing an insightful look into the world of pomology – the study of fruit and their cultivation. The hand-colored copperplate engraving technique adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, making this image a beautiful addition to any collection, be it for personal enjoyment or educational purposes.
