The Balotin Lemon, nicknamed "Adam's apple" since the 17th century, fascinates with the singular indentation that marks its top, like a delicate bite mark.
This plate captures the majestic grace of this poetic citrus fruit: its large red-tinged flowers, its elegant yellowish-green foliage, and its thick-skinned, sorrowful fruit of a deep yellow.
Taken from Poiteau and Turpin's Traité des Arbres Fruitiers, this illustration combines scientific rigor with rare artistic sensibility, bearing witness to the golden age of botanical illustration.
