Discover the Maltese orange, a remarkable fruit with distinctive characteristics: wine-red flesh, thin and shiny skin, according to the criteria of the largest Parisian markets of the 19th century.
This illustration highlights Poiteau's botanical observations on the rare polyembryony of citrus fruits, a phenomenon where multiple embryos germinate from the same seed, as well as the fascinating behavior of the fruit regenerating over the seasons.
Taken from the Traité des Arbres Fruitiers, this plate combines scientific rigor and artistic sensitivity, illustrating the golden age of botanical illustration.
