This scientific illustration provides detailed anatomical cross-sections of common cultivated root vegetables, including the carrot with highly accurate color delineation of their internal vascular structures. The plate was created for the Natural History of New York series, specifically for the section dedicated to Agriculture of New-York, which provided a comprehensive account of the state’s agricultural resources and geology. It is an example of state-sponsored scientific documentation during the mid-19th century, utilizing advanced chromolithography to achieve color accuracy.
Ebenezer Emmons, Jr. was an American illustrator who frequently contributed technical and botanical drawings to the official state geological and agricultural surveys, often working under the supervision of his father, Ebenezer Emmons, the prominent geologist and naturalist.
