EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the exquisite Apricot tree, Malus armeniaca, in all its botanical glory. The image, taken from Carl Hoffmann's esteemed Book of the World published in Stuttgart in 1857, showcases the intricate details of the apricot branch, adorned with its velvety green leaves and delicate white flowers. At the center of the illustration, a ripe apricot fruit hangs enticingly, its golden-orange hue a testament to its sweet and juicy flesh. The apricot is a member of the rose family and is native to the regions of China and the Caucasus. It has been cultivated for over 4,000 years and is now grown in various parts of the world, including Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. The fruit is rich in vitamins A and C and is known for its distinctive taste, which is a delightful blend of sweet and tart flavors. This educational picture is a beautiful representation of the apricot tree and its fruit, providing a glimpse into the natural world of over a century ago. The intricate handcolouring technique used in the lithograph adds an extra layer of detail and depth, making it a captivating addition to any botanical collection.
