1909
Imagine biting into these plump, ruby-red currants—they look good enough to eat! Elsie E. Lower painted this detailed study in 1909 for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, helping farmers identify 'Promising New Fruits' before color photography was up to the task. The messy handwritten notes, taped scraps of paper, and the sliced-open berry at the top reveal this wasn't meant for a museum wall, but was a working scientific document, a botanical fingerprint of a specific crop variety.
