This botanical poster reproduces the "Abricotier Albergier Franc" (Albergier Franc Apricot), considered in the 19th century as the ancestral variety from which all cultivated apricot trees descended. Recognizable by its characteristic foliage and golden fruits with reddish-purple flesh, this historic fruit tree was particularly prized in the Tours region. The scientific illustration precisely captures the botanical details that distinguished this variety: small leaves with auricles, petioles adorned with purplish glands, and exceptionally flavorful fruits ripening in mid-August.
