Red apples hang in clusters from a tree branch, their skins ripening to a deep crimson with a few streaks of gold showing through. The apple was among the most widely grown fruits in the United States by the late 1800s, and it appeared often on crate labels, seed catalogs and in botanical books, where artists aimed to show each variety's color and shape accurately. Pictures like this one were prized for their fidelity to the fruit, and they remain a useful record of how growers and printers presented the harvest.
