Set of 2 Original Antique Prints of various Pears and Apples

About the Item

Set of 2 antique prints of various pears and apples. It shows the Downton Pear, Rouse Lench Pear, Eastnor Castle Pear, Monarch Pear, and the Malcarle or Charles Apple. 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.
