Pomona Italiana,
the finest italian work on fruits
Known as the finest Italian work on fruits, and described by Dunthorne as 'a very fine work', the Pomona Italiana engaged around twenty artists and a further twenty engravers in its production by the retired, and somewhat disenchanted civil servant, Giorgio Gallesio, who took refuge in his passion for botany. He had already produced a work on citrus fruits, hence their absence from this title.[vol. III], original printed blue paper part wrapper bound in as title, with volume number inscribed in pencil, with 36 richly colour-printed stipple-engravings of various fruits including apples, pomegranate, plums, apricots, olives, almonds and other nuts, finished by hand and heightened with gum-arabic, tissue guards, some light spotting throughout, mostly marginal, contemporary green morocco-backed marbled boards, vellum-tipped corners, edges worn, folio.
