Downing (1872) seems to concur with the illustration rather than the photo... Maybe the modern version you sampled was a bit more sun-blushed, or just growing in different soil conditions, which is why it was more highly-coloured?

Are we sure about this one?

Winslow Homer began his career working as a commercial illustrator. Born in 1836 he became prominent American oil painter. Winslow Homer captured the practical side of orchard life in this wood engraving "Spring Farm Work-Grafting" published in Harper's Weekly, Apr 30 1870. #apple #grafting #art

It took MONTHS to even locate my father-in-law's body.

Photographing a piece of fruit is surprisingly difficult. Do not ask me how I know this.

Fellow apple nerds: are there varieties that consistently ripen with white skin (and a pink blush)? I had initially thought this was a Winter Banana, but the genetics don't match (they don't match anything in WSU's database), and it is too white and too soft. Photos from fall 2022

My new years post, which will not make sense to everyone, is that it is better to be on social media with a blog than without. Blog space is a place for me to stand outside the algos and vicissitudes of corporate social. Sure bsky is pretty chill and I love you all but this place isn't mine.
