Includes introductory commentary and an essay on fruit painting by Ian Jackson, plus notes on the fruits shown by C.T. Kennedy. The digital medium brings these illustrations to life with a sharpness and fidelity unobtainable by print means; every page is shown in full and may be magnified to 200% of original size.
