Maltese Orange Botanical Print - A3 size, wooden frame

← Discover the complete history of this illustration

Discover the Malta Orange, one of the two main families of oranges distinguished by 19th-century Parisian botanists, characterized by its wine-red flesh and thin, shiny skin.

This plate illustrates the extraordinary variability of citrus fruits and reveals the fascinating botanical phenomena observed by Poiteau: polyembryony, the astonishing behavior of juice reabsorption according to seasons, a living testament to the complexity of plant fluids.

Taken from the Traité des Arbres Fruitiers, this engraving combines scientific rigor with a rare artistic sensibility, emblematic of the golden age of botanical illustration.
