520    The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Pomological 
       Watercolor Collection contains 7,584 watercolor paintings 
       of cultivated fruit and nut varieties, alongside 
       speciments gathered around the world and introduced by 
       USDA plant explorers from the late 19th and early 20th 
       centuries. These remarkable, botanically accurate 
       watercolors were painted by twenty-one professional 
       artists (including ten women) employed by the USDA between
       1886 and 1942. Produced largely before the widespread use 
       of photography, the watercolors were created and published
       to aid identification and examination of fruit varieties 
       for the nation's fruit growers.
