EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is taken from Pomona Franconica, a horticultural publication created by the renowned German botanical artist Johann Mayer of Wurzburg between 1776 and 1801. Entitled "Gros bigarreau commun," this illustration showcases the large common whiteheart cherry (Prunus sp.), a beautiful and iconic flowering plant from the Rosaceae family. As a member of the Rosales order, Rosidae family, and Eudicot clade, the common whiteheart cherry is an essential part of the Angiospermae, a large group of seed-producing flowering plants. The plant is identified as a Prunus species, which is a large and diverse genus within the subfamily Amygdaleae, also known as the almond subfamily. The illustration captures the plant's stunning white flowers, which bloom in the springtime, and its distinctive, heart-shaped fruit. The common whiteheart cherry is a popular ornamental and edible plant, and its fruit is often used to make jams, jellies, and other culinary delights. Mayer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the illustration, which showcases the intricacies of the flower's structure, including its five petals, numerous stamens, and pistil. The illustration also highlights the plant's leaves, which are palmate and lobed, with serrated edges. This illustration is a testament to Mayer's artistic skill and his dedication to documenting the natural world. It provides a glimpse into the botanical knowledge of the 19th century and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom.
