A charming original 1886 hand-colored print from the renowned British illustrated newspaper The Graphic, titled "Orange Culture in Florida, U.S.A." Published on May 29, 1886, this richly detailed page documents Florida's booming citrus industry during the late nineteenth century, just as the state was emerging as one of America's premier orange-growing regions.

The page features six beautifully engraved and hand-colored scenes that provide a fascinating glimpse into Florida's agricultural heritage. Highlights include Bigelow House, Bigelow Grove, a flourishing orange tree, a close-up study of ripened oranges, workers packing fruit at Harris Grove, and a railway depot where the harvest was shipped to markets across the country. Together, these vignettes capture the optimism, industry, and rapid development of post-Civil War Florida.
