Download all water colours from the pomological USDA set and create an infographic. Summarise the number of different fruits, how many works each artist made and what they specialised in, finally use umap/tsne to visualise embeddings of the images to see clustering.
Web scrape all of the pomological water colours from:
- https://search.nal.usda.gov/discovery/collectionDiscovery?vid=01NAL_INST:MAIN&collectionId=81279629860007426 or
- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:USDA_Pomological_Watercolors

Extract the date, author, fruit, and variety from details.
There are so many apples in this dataset. Filter to the main, non-apple fruits and generate embedings for them.
Generate embeddings for images following https://www.fuzzylabs.ai/blog-post/hugging-face-in-space
Plot non-apple data. Fruit counts over time and embedding
