EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Bijou Lemon Cultivar - A Chromolithograph Delight from the Horticultural Past" This chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Bijou lemon cultivar, Citrus x limon, as it was beautifully rendered in the late 19th century. Drawn by the skilled hand of Walter Hood Fitch and chromolithographed by the renowned Belgian firms G. Severeyns and Stroobant, this image is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic mastery of the time. The plate is part of "The Florist and Pomologist," a comprehensive horticultural publication by Robert Hogg, published in London between 1878 and 1884. This impressive work featured 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates of fruit and flowers, all drawn by Fitch, along with contributions from Miss E. Regel and J.L. Macfarlane. The Bijou lemon cultivar, with its vibrant yellow hue and glossy surface, is showcased in all its splendour in this chromolithograph. The intricate veining and delicate texture of the lemon's skin are faithfully reproduced, while the rich colours and fine details of the background foliage add depth and dimension to the image. This historical representation offers a glimpse into the past, when horticulture was a celebrated art form and the pursuit of new and exotic cultivars was a source of great fascination. The Bijou lemon cultivar, with its unique characteristics, would have been a prized addition to any Victorian garden or greenhouse. Today, this chromolithograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of horticulture and the beauty of the natural world, as well as a tribute to the artistic and scientific achievements of the past.
