George Brookshaw - Plate X Plum varieties from Pomona Britannica 1818. This aquatint engraving, with some stipple, printed in colours and finished by hand is from Pomona Britannica by George Brookshaw. Printed by Bensley and Son and Published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme and Brown London 1817. These sumptuous prints of fruits come from one of the finest volumes on pomol-ogy ever produced. Hand-stippled finishing gives each fruit its natural appear-ance and many of Brookshaw’s models came from the Royal Gardens at Hamp-ton Court and Kensington Gardens. Brookshaw intended his masterpiece to be a country gentleman’s guide to the new science of pomology, classifying and identifying fruits. His execution of this goal was certainly worthy of its namesake, Pomona the Roman Goddess of Fruit and their trees. Size: 13.25in x 11in (33.5cm x 28cm) Some water damage to upper left corner - please inspect the image carefully.
