EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is taken from Pomona Franconica, a horticultural publication created by the renowned German botanical artist Johann Mayer of Wurzburg between 1776 and 1801. The illustration depicts the Dutch cherry, also known as the Coularde or Dutch flowering cherry, a beautiful member of the Rosaceae family. The Dutch cherry is identified as Prunus sp. and is a deciduous tree or large shrub, belonging to the subfamily Amygdalidoideae, order Rosales, class Eudicot, and division Magnoliophyta. The illustration captures the Dutch cherry in all its glory, showcasing its stunning pink and white flowers, which bloom in early spring before the leaves appear. These flowers are followed by small, dark red to purple fruits, which are edible and resemble cherries. The Dutch cherry is a popular ornamental plant, prized for its attractive appearance and its ability to produce an abundant display of blossoms. Johann Mayer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this illustration, which captures the intricacies of the Dutch cherry's flowers, leaves, and fruits. The illustration also includes a Latin label identifying the plant, further highlighting the scientific accuracy and rigor of Mayer's work. The Dutch cherry is an important part of the angiosperm world, which includes flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a member of the Rosaceae family, it is closely related to other well-known fruit trees such as apples, pears, and peaches. The Dutch cherry's beauty and significance as a flowering plant make it a fascinating subject for botanical illustration and a valuable addition to any horticultural collection.
