BOOK OF FRUITS

"Pomona Britannica", originally published in 1812, celebrated the richnessof food variations cultivated in England, with superb illustrations byGeorge Brockham of 256 species of fifteen kinds of fruit. For thiscompact, enhanced reprint, we have been fortunate enough to obtain the useof a very rare original copy: the exquisite, limited edition, hand-coloredvolume that was first owned by Princess Elizabeth, daughter of George III.Each chapter of our publication focuses on one family of fruit and isaccompanied by a contemporary text giving nutritional information aboutthe fruits as well as cultural and historical analyses. Lovingly drawn oncharcoal backgrounds, the mouth-watering cherries, apples, figs, and otherdivine fruits seem to jump right off the page. Nowy tytuł z serii"icony".
