by Passmore, Deborah Grisscom

Whole and Half Apple antique print by Passmore c1907.

Original colour-printed lithograph by DG Passmore for the Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, published in New York in 1907 by The Sackett & Wilhelms Co. Deborah Griscom Passmore (1840-1911) was a skilled botanical artist who worked for the United States Department of Agriculture Division of Pomology for 19 years. Passmore received a strict Quaker education prior to moving from Delaware to study at the School of Design and Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia.

Between 1897 and 1925 Yearbooks were published to promoted the wide range of fruit that was being cultivated in the United States. Artists employed by the department to do watercolours and lithographs for illustrations. 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). This lovely lithograph is mounted with antique white conservation ragmat board and covered with cellophane for presentation and protection until framed. (Mount is too large for scanner. Please see above  'Half-framed Champion Peach'.) The external size of the matt for framing window is 340 x 255mm (5 1/2 x 10 inches).
