The McIntosh apple here is one of the plates from the 1901 Yearbook of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where Plate XLVII shows the fruit as a botanical illustration rather than a photograph. McIntosh was a variety that had been developed from a seedling found in Ontario, and by the turn of the century it was spreading through nurseries across the northern states and Canada. The Department's yearbooks of this period catalogued fruit varieties carefully so that growers could compare color, shape and keeping quality, and this plate reflects that effort to standardize what a good apple should look like.
