William Coxe, manuscript, 1810-1831, This visual showcases two distinctly rendered apples, each accompanied by their respective names. At the top is the 'Reinette Grise,' characterized by a greenish-yellow skin speckled with dark spots and a slightly uneven surface. Below it, the 'Lady Finger' apple presents a more rounded shape, featuring a smooth yellow skin with a subtle rosy blush on one side and a few small blemishes. The backdrop is a muted, neutral tone that highlights the natural colors and details of the apples, drawing attention to their unique textures and shapes.
