EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print, titled "Reine Claude de Bavay and McLaughlin," showcases two exquisite plum cultivars: Reine Claude de Bavay and McLaughlin. The image, drawn by the renowned botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch and chromolithographed by G. Severeyns in Brussels, is part of the extensive collection published in "The Florist and Pomologist" by Robert Hogg in London between 1878 and 1884. The collection, which comprises 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates of fruit and flowers, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic mastery of its creators. In this particular print, Fitch's deft hand captures the unique characteristics of each plum variety, from the delicate curves of the Reine Claude de Bavay's skin to the robust, dark-purple hue of the McLaughlin plum. The Reine Claude de Bavay, or the Bavarian Queen Plum, is a popular European cultivar known for its greenish-yellow skin and sweet, juicy flesh. McLaughlin plums, on the other hand, are characterized by their large, dark-purple fruit and tart, yet sweet flavour. This historical print not only serves as a beautiful addition to any botanical art collection but also provides a glimpse into the rich horticultural history of the late 19th century. The intricate details of the illustration, combined with the vibrant colours and expert lithography by Severeyns and Stroobant, make this a truly captivating piece that transports us back in time.
