This poster reproduces Fragaria Chilensis, a legendary strawberry plant brought back from the Andes in 1712 and naturalized in Brest. Recognizable by its silky leaves, multiple-petal flowers, and vertically upright fruits—a unique characteristic among strawberry plants—it illustrates one of the most daring botanical adventures of the 18th century. Plate extracted from Poiteau and Turpin's Traité des Arbres Fruitiers (1807-1835), an exemplary alliance of scientific precision and artistic sensibility.
