Botanical Lemon Balotin Poster - 30x40cm, premium wood frame

← Discover the full story of this illustration

The Balotin Lemon, nicknamed "Adam's apple" since the 17th century, is fascinating due to the characteristic indentation at its top, reminiscent of a mysterious bite mark.

This plate finely illustrates one of the most poetic citrus fruits in European horticultural heritage, revealing the elegant silhouette of this vigorous tree with spectacular red-tinted flowers, and its rounded fruit with thick, deep yellow skin.

Extracted from Poiteau and Turpin's Traité des Arbres Fruitiers, it combines scientific rigor with the artistic sensibility characteristic of the golden age of botanical illustration in the 19th century.
