Ellen Isham SCHUTT

Ellen Isham SCHUTT (1873-1955) was an American botanical illustrator with the United States Department of Agriculture from 1904-1914. From 1914-1915, she worked with the Department of Pomology at the University of California where she created this collection of 286 watercolors of fruits, most of which are apples. These watercolors were created for classroom use and for demonstration purposes. They illustrate examples of a variety of conditions including cold storage, core rot, injury damage, and moth damage, among others. The fruits are usually shown in two views: a full view and a half section.

These beautiful botanical illustrations (especially if you will combine them in a set) can give your living room or office an unmatched vintage look, charm, and personality.
