EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Yellow Bellefleur apple variety, a beloved addition to the horticultural world during the late 19th century. The intricately detailed illustration is taken from "The Florist and Pomologist," a comprehensive work on fruit and flowers published in London between 1878 and 1884. The illustration was drawn by the renowned botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch and chromolithographed by the esteemed Belgian firm Severeyns and Stroobant. The Yellow Bellefleur, also known as the Yellow Bellflower apple, is a charming and unique apple variety within the Malus domestica species. Its distinctive yellow color and attractive bell-shaped flowers make it a standout among other apple varieties. The illustration captures the apple's delicate beauty, with its smooth, unblemished surface and the intricate details of its stem and leaves. "The Florist and Pomologist" was a significant publication during the Victorian era, providing an extensive record of various fruit and flower species. The work was produced by a team of skilled artists and lithographers, resulting in 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates that showcased the natural world in exquisite detail. This Yellow Bellefleur apple illustration is a testament to the high-quality workmanship and dedication to preserving the beauty of nature during this period. The illustration's historical significance lies in its role as a record of the Yellow Bellefleur apple variety, which may have since been lost or forgotten in the annals of horticultural history. It serves as a reminder of the rich botanical knowledge that was being documented and shared during this time, and the importance of preserving such records for future generations.
