EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph print showcases the elegant and alluring Louise Bonne de Pentecote pear, a prized cultivar of the common pear tree (Pyrus communis). The image is taken from "The Florist and Pomologist," a comprehensive horticultural publication produced by Robert Hogg in London between 1878 and 1884. This remarkable work consisted of 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates, meticulously created by a team of skilled artists and lithographers, including Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, J.L. Macfarlane, G. Severeyns, and Stroobant from Belgium. The Louise Bonne de Pentecote pear is depicted in all its splendor, its velvety surface glowing with a rich, golden hue, and its delicate, intricately patterned skin revealing the enticing promise of juicy, sweet fruit within. The pear tree, a symbol of abundance and fertility, has long been cherished for its delectable fruit and its beauty, making it a popular subject for horticultural illustrations. This print offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the world of horticulture during the late 19th century. It also serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the individuals involved in the creation of "The Florist and Pomologist," whose work continues to inspire and delight us today.
