Sandersha Mango Lithograph by A.A. Newton. c1907

by Newton, Amanda Almira

Scientifically accurate and wonderfully graphic half-Mango antique print.

Original colour-printed lithograph by Amanda Almira Newton, published in New York in 1907. A.A. Newton was one of the regular artists for the United States Department of Agriculture Division of Pomology.

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.   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.

Fine condition lithograph. Size 23 x 14cm (9 x 5.5 inches). (print only price)
