This illustration highlights the White Currant, a historical variety whose characteristic paleness can be seen from its foliage and flowers.
Prized in Paris for tempering the acidity of its red cousins, this variety remains a marvel of subtle flavor, despite being less commercially viable than its colored variants.
Taken from Poiteau and Turpin's Traité des Arbres Fruitiers (1807–1835), this plate combines botanical precision with an artistic sensitivity characteristic of the golden age of naturalistic illustration.
