These strawberries should be too stylized for my taste, but instead they're among my very favorite fruit illustrations.  I look at them almost every day and find them calming.  I don't own an original or even a copy, just this digital form.  Van de Mark, 1868:

'40s crate label.  Packs a punch, doesn't it?

Typical gloriousness from '40s Sunkist promo material; they cared.  They're my favorite brand to collect, followed by Libby's and Dole tied for second.

While certainly not a major part of my ephemera collections, there are some I love, adore.  Here's one - keep in mind it's great magnified here; it's the wee-est size of stamp.

I admire the detail and overall purtiness artist got into the tiny size for this Ivory Coast stamp:

And we've got the ephemera-collecting niche of the seed/garden catalog.  They too contained gasp-inducing (I'm only speaking for myself) illustrations of fruit.  These are from 1936.

And Mastodon strawberries!

And then there are the floral illustrations in these catalogs and many of them are just mad.  Here the centerfold, sadly somewhat cropped by my scanner.
