Set of 2 Antique Prints of the Duchesse d'Angouleme Pear and Others
About the Item
Set of 2 antique prints of pears. It shows the Beurrée d'Aremberg Pear, Gloux Morceaux Pear and the Duchesse d'Angouléme Pear. These prints originate from 'Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London' published circa 1835.
In Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London we find some of the most beautifully illustrated and vibrant botanical and fruit prints in botanical illustration. Many prominent artist of the day contributed to the work, including W. Hooker, Mrs. Withers, J. Robertson, B. Cotton, E. Smith and more.
For the first time in England, steel plates were used for the engravings, along with a variety of techniques including mezzotint and hand coloring. The prints are also enhanced with gum arabic so the fruits almost glisten.
