This illustration captures the Pêche Mignonne Hâtive (Early Mignonne Peach), a remarkable variety that ripens 10 to 15 days before its relative the Grosse-Mignonne, offering gardeners an exceptional fruit as early as August.
Identifiable by its very prominent nipple, this medium-sized fruit has a downy skin that turns bright red in the sun, while its white, melting flesh reveals subtle red marbling around the pit.
A plate from Poiteau and Turpin's Traité des Arbres Fruitiers (1807-1835), it combines scientific rigor with the artistic sensibility characteristic of the golden age of botanical illustration.
