XXIII Smith's Early Newington Buckinghamshire Minion & Barrington Peaches. Large Quarto Edition 11 x 13.5 inches. Pomona Britannica is considered one of the most distinguished pomologies ever produced and is described as "one of the finest colour-plate books in existence." Prideaux. Named for Pomona the Roman Goddess of Fruit and Fruit Trees a pomology is simply a treatise on fruit culture. However there was nothing simple about the intent and execution of this fine work. In an effort to educate the landed country gentleman on the cultivation of fruit George Brookshaw 1751-1823 rendered and described the finest fruit under cultivation in the most esteemed gardens in London and the Royal Gardens particularly around Hampton Court and Kensington. Very little is known about the early years of Brookshaw's life and education. He was born in Birmingham and died an undistinguished death in London. However during the late 18th Century Brookshaw enjoyed significant notoriety as a talented cabinetmaker distinguished by royal patronage. Receipts from the Prince of Wales dating 1783 document the finely painted furniture commissioned from G. Brookshaw. Elegant cabinets tables and chimney pieces were painted with exquisite allegorical scenes bouquets of flowers and abundant cornucopias offering a glimpse into what was to become the hallmark of Brookshaw's talent; elegant and fluid renditions of fruit and flowers. George's talent as an engraver was perhaps influenced by Richard Brookshaw brother an established and talented mezzotint engraver in Paris during the 19th Century. Richard Brookshaw engraved several of the plates for the Folio edition of Pomona Britannica c.1812 however as the last of Richard's engravings are dated 1804 we conclude every one of the plates in this large Quarto edition were engraved by George Brookshaw himself. This edition should not be considered a miniature version of the Folio edition where the fruit is set on dark mezzotint grounds. This large Quarto edition features beautifully hand-colored stipple engravings which float on soft ivory backgrounds. Ref. Dunthorne 55 Christie's 4-97. Longmans, Hurst, Rees, Orme, & Brown, unknown

Their locally Pacific Northwest-sourced fruit offerings included BlackberriesBoysenberries Royal Anne Cherries dark Sweet Cherries Purple Plums Strawberries Gooseberries Loganberries Peaches and whole Apricots. A wide variety of packing options included water pack light syrup heavy syrup and frozen offerings which were packed into 10 oz. metal and paper fibre cans. Oregon Fruit Products was one of the many U.S. Companies to quickly expand their offerings with Abbot Laboratories notorious artificial sweetener Sucaryl Calcium Cyclamate which was marketed towards those dieters and customers with diabetes or other metabolic disorders wishing for sweet-tasting foods. However within 12 years after the “Oretetic†brand products were introduced in 1969 the FDA banned cyclamates due to two 1968 studies tracing links to bladder cancer. Gehlhar 1886-1969 originally purchased 10 acres in the West Side Fruit Farm district of Salem OR in 1910 and began farming and by 1920 was operating 160 acres producing cherries & prunes and later built the Gehlhar prune dryer in 1926. In 1931 he served as the first Oregon State Director of Agriculture and after a 1935 fire destroyed his fruit dryer the cannery remained and he chose to instead focus on canning and marketing canned fruit products for distribution in the Pacific Northwest. Although originally focused on canned fruits and then later frozen products by the late 1980’s and early 1990’s the company began diversifying their product line. In 2011 the Gehlhar family sold the company to Ed Maletis who have now expanded to a new location in Salem OR.
