Note: the image of the apple was done using a stencil technique, adding various colours singly or in layers, then adding details (eg: black spots on the apple and highlights on the twig) by hand. The inscription is lithographic. See W151 for another stencil print of similar composition but smaller scale with some detail variations., Rochester, NY was a leading nursery and seed centre in the last half of the 19th century. An allied enterprise to these businesses was the production and printing of coloured fruit and flower prints designed to aid nurserymen and their travelling salesmen in selling plants. Dewey became one of the major producers of these colour plates., Preservation copy photographs, both b&w and colour transparency, are held in the Loans and Exhibitions area of Preservation Branch.
