Fragaria Kevitts Wonder
1908
Ellen Isham Schutt painted this 'Kevitts Wonder' strawberry in 1908, essentially creating a scientific ID card for American agriculture. The illustration shows both the vibrant, seeded exterior and a sliced cross-section to reveal the juicy, pale pink interior, helping farmers identify the variety. Handwritten notes at the bottom trace this specific berry back to a grower in New Jersey, part of a massive government effort to catalog the nation's crops in beautiful detail.
