A single red apple set against a plain white ground is a study in form rather than place, which makes it a useful contrast to the orchard and market scenes on this board. Pictures of individual fruit like this became common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printing and photographic techniques made it practical to isolate an object and reproduce it cleanly for catalogs, advertising and botanical or agricultural publications. The stark background removes any setting, so the eye goes straight to the apple's color, its glossy skin and the small shadow it casts. Images of this kind were often used to promote apple varieties, and they still show how much the fruit's appearance mattered to growers and buyers.
