1911
Ellen Isham Schutt painted this vibrant cluster of 'Ida' cherries in 1911 as part of her massive project for the USDA to document American fruit varieties. Notice the single cherry sliced open on the left, revealing the pit—a classic trick of botanical illustrators to show both the outside beauty and the inside anatomy. Schutt created thousands of these lush watercolors, which now form the famous USDA Pomological Watercolor Collection, serving as a delicious historical record of fruits that have long since vanished from our grocery stores.
