The USDA Pomological Watercolor Collection is a remarkable archive of over 7,500 botanical illustrations created between 1886 and 1942, documenting the diversity of fruit and nut cultivars in the United States and beyond. Commissioned by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, these meticulously detailed watercolors were produced by a team of artists—including notable figures like Deborah Griscom Passmore and Amanda Almira Newton—to aid in the identification and classification of plant varieties during a pivotal era of agricultural expansion. Today, the collection serves as both a scientific resource and an artistic treasure, capturing a vibrant snapshot of horticultural history.
