Botanical Malta Orange Poster - 30x40cm, premium wooden frame

← Discover the full story of this illustration

The Maltese Orange fascinated 19th-century botanists with its wine-red flesh and lustrous skin, characteristics prized by Parisian merchants of the time.

Poiteau reveals the secrets of this remarkable citrus fruit: its complex seeds, sometimes carrying multiple embryos, and its astonishing life cycle where fruits repeatedly lose and regain their juice with the seasons.

This naturalistic plate combines scientific rigor with artistic elegance, testifying to the extraordinary plasticity of citrus fruits and the botanical mysteries of the "Traité des Arbres Fruitiers" (Treatise on Fruit Trees).
