Royal Carmine, Marshal, Salisbury
Pippin & Mountain Greening Apples
EM21 $85
We are pleased to offer prints from this volume of
the fruits of that time from the comprehensive work on
the Agriculture of New York, published in Albany New
York in 1851. The prints are hand colored lithographs of
apples, pears, plums, cherries and peaches. They are in
excellent condition, with the paper still quite white
and no foxing at all. Each print measures approximately
9 inches wide by 11 inches long. There is a copy of the
chapter associated with each fruit, as there were no
single descriptive texts with this work. Please review
the photos carefully as they are very accurate. The
prints are original antique prints guaranteed to be the
stated age of over 150 years old.
Ebenezer Emmons (1799-1863) was a physician and natural
history professor. Geology was his first love, and he
named the Adirondacks & Taconic Mountains. His
masterpiece was "American Geology" a work describing
American fossils. He also contributed to The Natural
History of New York, with three volumes on fruits,
vegetables & insects. In later life he was State
Geologist of North Carolina.
These old prints are a valuable record of the many
wonderful heirloom fruit varieties that have disappeared
in the past century. Just imagine that there were once
about 10,000 varieties of apples alone in the US & now
15 varieties only account for more than 95% of US
production!
