George Brookshaw's Black Frontiniac Wine Grape Aquatint from "Pomona Brittanica"
By George Brookshaw
Located in Alamo, CA
George Brookshaw's (1751-1823) beautiful Black Frontiniac Wine Grape hand-colored aquatint engraving, plate XVII from his "Pomona Brittanica", considered to be the finest British botanical large format treatise of the 19th-century. His engravings were unique for their rich tones and colors, elegant compositions with the fruit seeming to float on a rich mottled background. The print is presented in a gold and burgundy-colored wood frame and a light gray mat. The print is in very good condition. Another Brookshaw engraving from his series of fruit illustrations is available on 1stdibs. It is framed and matted identically to this one. It can be viewed on our 1stdibs storefront by typing Timeless Intaglio...
