The collection (circa 1880-1974) contains lithographs of apples and other fruits by W. H. Prestele, as well as information about the Prestele family. Of particular interest are the lithographs of apples that Prestele made for the Iowa State Agricultural College (now Iowa State University); these prints depict specimens collected by Professor of Horticulture J. L. Budd. (For J. L. Budd's papers see RS 9/16/13, and for information on the Department of Horticulture see RS 9/16.)
