Monacy Apple antique print. E.I. Schutt lithograph c1912.

by Schutt-Blackburn, Ellen Isham

Antique print of Monacy Apple, lithographed by Schutt.

Original colour-printed lithograph by Ellen Isham Schutt-Blackburn (1873-1955), published in New York in 1912 for the Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture. E.I. Schutt was an artist for the Division of Pomology from 1904 to 1914.

Between 1897 and 1920 Yearbooks were published to illustrate the wide range of fruit produced in the United States. From 1905 to 1925, the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station published a series of seven monographs on hardy fruits as part of their annual report.  Ulysses Prentiss Hedrick (1870-1951), continued the series over a period of 18 years, with larger photolithographs for six volumes on grapes, plums, cherries, peaches, pears and small fruits. 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).
