EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts a white peach tree (Amygdalus persica alba) in full bloom, with its lush foliage, delicate blossoms, and luscious fruit. The illustration was created by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and masterfully engraved by S. Watts for Sydenham Edwards' renowned publication, The Botanical Register, published in London by Ridgway in 1833. The white peach tree is a beautiful and popular fruit tree, known for its luscious, juicy, and sweet white flesh. The tree is a deciduous plant, with large, glossy leaves that provide a lush canopy. In this illustration, we can see the tree in all its splendor, with its branches adorned with white blossoms and ripe, round white peaches. The botanical illustration not only showcases the beauty of the white peach but also serves as an important historical record. Botanical illustrations were an essential tool for botanists and horticulturists during the 18th and 19th centuries, as they provided accurate and detailed records of plant species. This particular illustration is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The white peach has a rich history, with records of its cultivation dating back to ancient China and Greece. It was introduced to Europe in the 16th century and quickly became a favorite among the nobility. Today, white peaches are grown in many parts of the world and are enjoyed for their sweet, delicate flavor and velvety texture. This beautiful illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of botanical records in documenting the natural world and preserving the history of horticulture.
