Augusta Innes WithersBrabant Apple: A 19th Century Hand-colored Engraving by Augusta Innes Withers1812

About the Item
This early 19th century hand-colored stipple engraving by Augusta Innes Withers entitled "The Brabant Bellefleur Apple" was plate 10 published in London in the 'Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London' in 1812. It depicts an apple on a tree branch, surrounded by leaves.
Augusta Innes Withers (1792-1877) was commissioned by the Horticultural Society, (now the Royal Horticultural Society), to paint a series of fruit portraits. These typically show all the elements of the plant needed for identification: leaf, stem, full fruit, cross section, pip, bud and blossom. Withers employed a stipple effect to capture the texture of the fruit. The prints are also embellished with gum arabic so the fruits appear to glisten.
This beautiful and realistic appearing engraving has mild spotting in the upper margin on the left and in the lower right margin. It is trimmed close to the text in the upper right, but it is otherwise in very good condition.
