This poster celebrates the Hâtif Cherry, an enigmatic variety that fascinated Parisian botanists in the 19th century due to its legendary early ripening and characteristic dwarf habit.
The Hâtif Cherry is cultivated solely by suckers, developing flat-topped trees capable of producing fruit from a height of just one meter, while its bright red, round, and slightly flattened cherries ripen as early as mid-June.
This plate from the Traité des Arbres Fruitiers (1807-1835) combines the precision of scientific drawing with remarkable artistic sensibility, a hallmark of the golden age of botanical illustration.
