This plate illustrates the Turkish Hazel, an oriental species introduced to France during the Age of Enlightenment and long confused with its Levantine cousins.
Poiteau offers us one of the rare scientific illustrations of the era, capturing the majesty of this large tree with velvety leaves and silvery-gray bark.
The print reveals remarkable details of its fruits and their complex involucre, a testament to the fascination with exotic species that then enriched French royal gardens.
