This gorgeous strawberry watercolor print was illustrated by Ellen Isham Schutt in 1911 and was part a project started by the US Government beginning in 1886 - 1940s to commission 7,500 paintings and sculptures of every known fruit. It made jobs available to about 65 American artists to “document the thousands and thousands of varieties of heirloom and experimental fruit cultivars sprouting up nationwide.” The fruit watercolors were made public domain by the US Department of Agriculture.
