The Red Mulberry is a tree native to North America, long misunderstood in Europe, confused with other species until the late discovery of its fruit-producing females.
This illustration captures the remarkable transformation of its female catkins, which change from green to red, then to purple before reaching black at maturity, revealing mulberries with a delicate taste and pleasant acidity.
Taken from Poiteau and Turpin's Traité des Arbres Fruitiers (1807-1835), this plate combines the precision of scientific drawing with an artistic sensibility characteristic of the golden age of botanical illustration.
