Ellen Isham Schutt: Green & Ripe Lemons (1908) Botanical Print

Bring a burst of vintage sunshine into your culinary space. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features Ellen Isham Schutt’s 1908 citrus study, a pinnacle of American botanical realism.

Commissioned by the USDA in the early 1900s, Ellen Isham Schutt was tasked with creating a permanent visual record of the nation's fruit varieties. This 1908 Green and Ripe Lemon illustration is a testament to her mastery of the watercolor medium. Unlike decorative floral prints, Schutt’s work was rooted in scientific observation; she meticulously rendered the 'oil glands' of the citrus rind and the subtle tonal shifts between a maturing green lemon and its ripe counterpart. This print captures the Pomological Collection’s unique blend of government record-keeping and fine art, making it a sophisticated addition to any modern interior.

Schutt's work is prized for its crispness and clarity. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the juicy transparency of the lemon slices and the vibrant, waxy sheen of the rinds. Printed on premium matte art paper, it ensures the vivid yellows and deep greens of the 1908 original remain a fresh and zesty focal point in your home."

A perfect Statement Piece for a bright kitchen, a breakfast nook, or a sun-drenched dining area. This Schutt Botanical Print is an exceptional gift for chefs, gardeners, and lovers of classic Americana.
