Weshart Tangerine antique print. Lithograph by D.G. Passmore c1904

by Passmore, Deborah Grisscom

Wonderful life-like Tangerine lithograph by Passmore, c1904.

Original colour-printed lithograph by botanical artist Deborah Grisscom Passmore (1840-1911), printed in Baltimore by A. Hoen & Company, for the Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture. Deborah Passmore received a strict Quaker education in Delaware, and then moved to Philadelphia to study at the School of Design and Academy of Fine Arts.  She was a fine botanical artist who worked in the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Division of Pomology for 19 years.

Scientific and botanical artists were employed by the United States Department of Agriculture, and between 1897 and 1925 Yearbooks were published with their fine illustrations from their watercolours illustrating the wide range of fruit produced in the United States. As they were published essentially to promote the growing of fruit in the United States, there was not an enormous circulation, so these beautiful illustrations are rarely seen today.

Image size is 23 x 14cm (9 x 5.5 inches). There is slight damage down the left edge of the page, but it would not show when framed. Price has been reduced.
