EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical print captures the intricate details of a watermelon - Polinac melon, Cucumis melo, along with segments of fruit, leaf, flower, and tendril. Handcoloured to perfection, this stipple engraving by George Brookshaw is a true work of art from his renowned "Pomona Britannica" collection dating back to 1817.
George Brookshaw's journey from successful cabinet maker to talented flower painter is truly remarkable. After disappearing in the 1790s, he made a comeback with his anonymous "New Treatise on Flower Painting" in 1797. His attention to detail and precision shines through in this exquisite illustration that showcases the beauty of nature.
The quarto edition of Brookshaw's original folio collection was published between 1804-1812, solidifying his place as a masterful artist in the world of botanical illustrations. The vibrant colors and delicate lines bring each element - from the fruit to the tendrils - to life in this print.
As you gaze upon this piece, you can't help but appreciate the dedication and skill that went into creating such a masterpiece. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty found in nature and the talent of artists like George Brookshaw who have immortalized it for generations to come.
