Wall , Brooklyn NY " Although not dated, this color lithograph plate was probably clipped from a seed / nursery catalog printed in the 1890s. Lithographer H. M. Wall produced a series of chromolithograph flower prints in the 1890s. The redcurrant or red currant ( Ribes rubrum ) is a member of the gooseberry family. Native to western Europe, it is widely cultivated and has escaped into the wild in many regions. It is a deciduous shrub normally growing to 3+ to 5+ feet tall, with green leaves and inconspicuous yellow-green flowers which mature into bright red edible berries. Redcurrant fruits are known for their tart flavor, and are cultivated for jams and cooked preparations. They are also often served raw or as a simple accompaniment in salads, garnishes, or drinks when in season. In the United Kingdom, redcurrant jelly is a condiment often served with lamb, game meat including venison, turkey and goose in a festive or Sunday roast. --------- Carefully packed for shipment to the buyer.
