Rosie Sanders, often described as the best painter of the world’s most famous fruit, has devoted years to researching this out-of-print, hard to get, book.
144 watercolours depict the unrivalled range of form, colour and texture which characterise varieties such as Beauty of Bath, Peasgood Nonsuch, Pitmaston Pineapple and St Edmund’s Pippin.
Painted with their blossom, twig and leaf, Rosie offers detailed descriptions of each apple’s aroma, flavour and season as well as something of the history of each variety.
