This plate celebrates the common apricot, the largest of the apricot trees, rigorously observed by Pierre-Antoine Poiteau in the 19th century.
The illustration reveals its distinctive characteristics: large, flat, heart-shaped leaves and golden-yellow fruits that ripen without ever turning red, developing their optimal flavor when grown as espaliers.
Extracted from the Traité des Arbres Fruitiers, this engraving combines scientific precision and artistic sensibility, a major testament to the golden age of botanical illustration.
