Drawn from the celebrated Album Benary, PLATE I arranges an extraordinary company of peppers across a warm ivory ground. Squat ribbed specimens and slender cascading chillies, deep purple-black alongside blazing scarlet and golden yellow are evinced with the meticulous care of a nineteenth-century botanist who understood that the vegetable garden held its own form of majesty. Printed on fine art paper and presented in a black and silver frame with white slip and float glass, PLATE I stirs up the abundance of the harvest season into the interior with the mastery of a scientific document that happens to be magnificent.
