George Brookshaw (1751 – 1823) was born in Birmingham, England, and spent the early stages of his career building fine cabinets detailed with hand-painted botanical and pomological motifs. His clientele included none other than the Prince of Wales and examples of his cabinetry may be seen today at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. However, after a period of financial difficulty, Brookshaw turned to botanical illustration and gave flower-painting lessons. Brookshaw’s most notable publication is Pomona Britannica (1812) which illustrates “the Most Esteemed Fruits” cultivated in England at that time.
