ピルス・コモンイス デュイズプレミアム
1906
Ellen Isham Schutt captured the rugged, russet skin of this 'Deweys Premium' pear with scientific precision back in 1906. This isn't just a fruit portrait; it's a piece of agricultural history from the USDA's Pomological Watercolor Collection, a massive government project designed to help farmers identify rare fruit varieties before color photography was widespread. The handwritten notes at the bottom reveal its origins in Henrico County, Virginia, preserving a specific harvest from Mr. W.G. Cobb over a century ago.
