"Pomona Britannica" is an exquisite and historically significant botanical work by George Brookshaw, first published in parts between 1804 and 1812. This monumental publication is celebrated for its detailed and vibrant illustrations of fruit, showcasing Brookshaw's exceptional skill as both an artist and a horticulturist. The work is named after Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit trees, gardens, and orchards, reflecting its focus on the beauty and variety of cultivated fruits.

Brookshaw's "Pomona Britannica" features 90 hand-colored aquatint plates, each meticulously crafted to depict a wide array of fruits, including apples, pears, plums, cherries, peaches, and grapes, among others. These illustrations are not only artistically stunning but also scientifically accurate, providing valuable insights into the horticultural practices and fruit varieties of the early 19th century. The plates are accompanied by descriptive text that offers detailed information on the characteristics, cultivation, and uses of each fruit variety.

The creation of "Pomona Britannica" marked a significant period in Brookshaw's career. Prior to this work, he had experienced a mysterious disappearance from the public eye, only to re-emerge with this ambitious project. The publication is often regarded as a testament to his resilience and dedication to the art of botanical illustration. Brookshaw's use of aquatint, a technique that allows for subtle gradations of color, set his work apart from other botanical illustrators of his time, contributing to the enduring legacy of "Pomona Britannica."

Today, "Pomona Britannica" is highly prized by collectors and historians for its artistic merit and historical importance. It provides a window into the horticultural diversity and aesthetic sensibilities of the Georgian era, and continues to be a source of inspiration for contemporary botanical artists and enthusiasts. The work remains a cornerstone in the field of botanical illustration, celebrated for its combination of scientific precision and artistic beauty.
