Description
Since colonial times, the pineapple has been an enduring symbol of welcome and hospitality. During the 1700s, the striking fruits were wildly popular, but incredibly expensive to secure. Both actual pineapples and motifs depicting the quirky, exotic fruit adorned homes, taverns, and inns to assure visitors that their hosts spared no expense in accommodating them.
