I've handled a few examples (of apples and peaches and pears) of this type before--this would have been one page in a salesman sample type horticultural specimen catalogue (unbound, but held together in a large folio\/case). This is not a lithograph--rather, the quince here was rendered in a manner akin to a theorem watercolor, using multiple, hand-cut stencils and meticulously applied layers of watercolor\/gouache. This technique is often called Pochoir, from the French, or a hand stencil print. With ink printed text below describing the attributes of this refreshing Champion. On the reverse appears \"1868\" which seems quite likely the date of its making; most examples of these date to the 1870s-early 1880s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 1\/2\" x 5 1\/2\". Excellent antique condition, crisp and bright and lush. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48308205093118,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_5468.png?v=1780079416","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/champion-quince-hand-stenciled-page-from-c-1868-nursery-specimens-salesman-sample-catalog","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
