EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is taken from Pomona Franconica, a horticultural masterpiece created by Johann Mayer of Wurzburg between 1776 and 1801. The illustration showcases two varieties of peaches, specifically the yellow clingstone peach and the Madeleine peach. The yellow clingstone peach, depicted on the left, is characterized by its bright yellow color and the fact that its flesh adheres to the stone, making it ideal for preserves and baking. The Madeleine peach, illustrated on the right, is a white or blush-colored peach with a freestone, or non-cling, nature. Its name is believed to be derived from the Madeleine Monastery in Vienne, France, where the peach variety was first cultivated. Johann Mayer's Pomona Franconica is an essential work in the history of botanical illustration. It is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill that characterized botanical illustration during the 19th century. This illustration is part of the Rosaceae family, which includes a wide range of fruit-bearing plants, and is classified as an eudicot, angiosperm, and magnoliophyta. The peach is a member of the Rosales order, the Eurosid clade, and the Fabidae family, specifically the subfamily Amygdaleae or Amygdaloideae. The illustration's delicate pink flowers, with their intricate veining and subtle shading, are a beautiful representation of the peach tree's blooming stage. The peach is an important fruit crop worldwide, and its cultivation and consumption have a rich cultural history. This illustration serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the role that botanical illustration plays in documenting it.
