Augusta Innes WithersBrabant Apple: A 19th Century Hand-colored Engraving by Augusta Innes Withers1812

About the Item
This early 19th century hand-colored stipple engraving by Augusta Innes Withers entitled "The Brabant Bellefleur Apple" was plate 10 published in London in the 'Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London' in 1812. It depicts an apple on a tree branch, surrounded by leaves.
Augusta Innes Withers (1792-1877) was commissioned by the Horticultural Society, (now the Royal Horticultural Society), to paint a series of fruit portraits. These typically show all the elements of the plant needed for identification: leaf, stem, full fruit, cross section, pip, bud and blossom. Withers employed a stipple effect to capture the texture of the fruit. The prints are also embellished with gum arabic so the fruits appear to glisten.
This beautiful and realistic appearing engraving has mild spotting in the upper margin on the left and in the lower right margin. It is trimmed close to the text in the upper right, but it is otherwise in very good condition.

"February Bouquet" from 'The Twelve Months of Flowers' series by Robert Furber
By Robert Furber
Located in Alamo, CA
This framed hand-colored engraving entitled "February Bouquet" is from 'The Twelve Months of Flowers' by Henry Furber, published in London in 1730 by Robert Sayer and John King. Each of the twelve hand-colored engravings in the book were produced from paintings by Pieter Casteels (1684-1749) and engraved by Henry Fletcher (1710-1753). The book featured twelve detailed engravings of seasonal plants in bloom in the form of a bouquet. More than 400 different species of flowering plants were included with each plant numbered and accompanied by a list of the corresponding species names. Thirty-five species of flowers are depicted in this engraving in a bouquet sitting in an ornate attractive bowl. A few of the flowers lie loose on a table. The flower species are listed in a table in the lower portion of the plate, along with the month that these flowers are in bloom.
This colorful print is presented in a gold-colored wood frame with a cream-colored double mat with a heather green inner mat. The frame measures 23.5" High, 19" wide and 1.63" deep. There are a few small frame abrasions, but the print is in very good condition.
