Title: "A Bountiful Vine: Hand-Colored 19th-Century Engraving of Grapes from Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder*"
Description: This captivating 19th-century botanical engraving features a stunning depiction of a grapevine, complete with clusters of ripe purple and green grapes, a beautifully detailed tendril, and a variegated autumnal leaf. The hand-colored illustration captures the lush vibrancy of the fruit and foliage, showcasing the artist’s skill in blending scientific accuracy with artistic beauty.
Published as part of Friedrich Johann Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder* (*Picture Book for Children*), this engraving reflects the Enlightenment-era commitment to educating through art. Bertuch’s encyclopedic series, published between 1790 and 1830, featured over 1,200 engravings covering natural history, science, and culture, making it one of the most celebrated visual references of its time.
Key details:
1. A vibrant bunch of purple grapes, rendered with rich, glossy hues to highlight their ripened state.
2. Green grapes in various stages of maturity, emphasizing the life cycle of the vine.
3. A colorful, veined leaf transitioning to autumnal shades, adding visual depth and seasonal context.
4. Twisting tendrils and a woody stem, showcasing the intricate structure of the vine.
Condition:
This engraving is in excellent condition with only light foxing and minor discoloration along the edges. The colors are vivid and well-preserved, bringing the subject to life.
Advice on presentation:
1. Frame the engraving in a wooden frame with a warm natural finish or a dark tone to complement the richness of the colors. Use an acid-free mat in soft cream or pale green to protect and enhance the artwork.
2. Display as a focal piece in a dining room, kitchen, or wine cellar, celebrating the timeless beauty of grapes and their cultural significance.
3. Pair it with other botanical prints from the same series for a cohesive collection that highlights natural history.
4. For archival purposes, store the engraving in a high-quality portfolio to ensure its preservation while allowing for close study.
This engraving is an ideal addition to collections of botanical art, a thoughtful gift for wine enthusiasts, or an elegant decorative piece for a nature-inspired interior.

White Hamburgh Grape: A Framed 19th C. Color Engraving by George Brookshaw
By George Brookshaw
Located in Alamo, CA
This is a 19th century colored aquatint and stipple engraving finished by hand entitled "White Hamburgh Grape", drawn and engraved by George Brookshaw and published in London in 1812 as plate 60 in his 'Pomona Britannica; or, A Collection of the Most Esteemed Fruits'. It depicts a cluster of pale green grapes still on the vine. The vine and leaves are shown in attractive shades of green and brown. The plant lays on a brown textured background with shadows to impart 3-dimensionality. The scene is reminiscent of an engraving in an 18th century artistically stylized human anatomy atlas. There is a light brown title rectangle in the lower center which is blank, suggesting this may be a more rare preproduction proof. There are wide white margins.
This striking engraving is presented in a reddish brown decorative wood frame with a darker brown scroll-work outer trim and a gold-colored inner fillet and a thick light beige mat. The frame measures 26" high, 22" wide and 1.13" deep. It is glazed with UV conservation glass. There is a tiny spot in the lower margin on the left and another in the left margin. The print and frame are otherwise in excellent condition.
There is a second Brookshaw engraving that is framed in identical moulding, although a slightly different size and a different color mat. It depicts a Silver Rock Melon. The two prints would make a striking display pairing...
