EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration, titled "Ripe fruit and leaves of the Nonsuch apple, Malus domestica," is an exquisite example of botanical art from the 19th century. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Edwin Dalton Smith and meticulously engraved by Watts, under the direction of Charles McIntosh. McIntosh, a Scottish gardener to European aristocracy and royalty, and author of many books on gardening, was a prominent figure in the horticultural world of the time. The Nonsuch apple, Malus domestica, is depicted in all its glory, with its ripe, succulent fruit and vibrant, glossy leaves. The intricate details of the apple's surface texture and the delicate veining of its leaves are beautifully captured in this illustration. The use of handcoloring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true work of art. The Nonsuch apple was a popular variety during the 1800s, and this illustration serves as a testament to its beauty and significance in the world of horticulture. Botanical illustrations like this one were essential for the study and documentation of plant species, and they continue to be valued for their aesthetic and historical importance today. This illustration is a rare and precious glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the world of botanical art and horticulture during the 19th century. It is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and the importance of preserving and celebrating it through art and science.
