Discover the Briançon Plum, a singular mountain fruit from the High Alps, illustrated with the scientific precision characteristic of the golden age of botanical illustration.
Though not very palatable, this plum fascinated 19th-century botanists for the oleaginous richness of its kernel, the source of one of the most prized essences of the era: marmot oil.
This plate embodies a utilitarian botany, where each species reveals its interest to those who know how to observe it.
