Further Information

Brookshaw's Pomona Britannica is the finest English work on fruit. Intended to accurately record the best available varieties and encourage their cultivation, it was first published in a large folio version containing 90 plates of 256 varieties, and then in a smaller, more affordable, quarto format that contained 60 plates of 174 varieties.  Both versions feature fruit then grown in and around London, especially at the Royal Gardens at Hampton Court.   Varieties include tree fruits such as apples, peaches, cherries, plums, and figs as well as melons, berries and grapes.   Brookshaw employed a distinctive compositional style of botanical illustration in which spare arrangements of richly colored fruits are arranged against the background color of the page, sometimes with a small cast shadow to give a sense of dimension, and often including details of flowers and leaves.
