Vitis Ulliade Blanche d’Ambre
1911
Ellen Isham Schutt painted this lush cluster of grapes in 1911, capturing the dusty bloom and reddish blush of the 'Ulliade Blanche' variety with mouth-watering realism. This isn't just a pretty picture; it was a scientific record for the USDA, helping farmers identify the best crops to grow across the country. The handwritten notes at the bottom add a charming, archival touch, making it feel like a page straight out of a botanist's diary from over a century ago.
