1906
Look closely at these two perfectly imperfect bananas, complete with realistic brown spots and bruised skin! Ellen Isham Schutt captured this 'Dacca' variety in 1906 for the USDA, documenting exotic fruits being grown in Miami's subtropical gardens. Rather than painting a flawless, idealized fruit, she embraced the messy reality of nature, showing exactly what a ripe banana looks like right before you'd want to eat it. It's a charming slice of agricultural history that turns a simple snack into a serious scientific record.
