복숭아 - 셔플리스 레이트 by Elsie E. Lower, 1910

Before modern photography, the USDA hired talented artists to document America's fruit varieties in stunning detail. Elsie E. Lower painted this 'Shipleys Late' peach in 1910, capturing its fuzzy, blushing skin and the deep red flesh surrounding the pit. Her handwritten notes reveal she worked on it over two weeks in late summer, likely studying a fresh specimen all the way from Arlington, Virginia.
