EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 47 from Pomona Britannica, published in 1812, features an exquisite illustration of the black grape vine (Vitis sp.), specifically identified as the Raisin de Calmes, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. This botanical masterpiece, created by the skilled hand of George Brookshaw (1751-1823), showcases the intricacies of this edible fruit-bearing plant, a member of the grape family (Vitaceae). The illustration reveals the vitality of the vine, with its tendrils curling around a trellis, and the lush, green foliage adorned with clusters of juicy, dark-purple grapes. The grapes, bursting with ripeness, are depicted in a state of perfection, each one ready to be plucked and savored. The delicate details of the grape flowers, with their five petals and distinctive stamens, are also captured in this illustration, highlighting the plant's status as a flowering plant (angiosperm), a dicotyledon (dicot), and an eudicot (eudicotyledon). The black grape, a type of angiospermae, or flowering angiosperm, is a member of the Magnoliophyta division, which includes all seed-bearing plants. This illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and provides a glimpse into the botanical knowledge of the past. The Raisin de Calmes, with its rich history and culinary significance, continues to captivate our senses and nourish our bodies, making this illustration a timeless treasure in the annals of botanical art.
