J. C. Volkamer The Book of Citrus Fruits 45th Ed.

The Book of Citrus Fruits reproduces a hand-colored set of copper plates originally created by J. C. Volkamer, featuring 170 varieties of citrus fruits including citrons, lemons, and bitter oranges. Each illustration depicts the fruits suspended above Italian villas, Nuremberg gardens, and picturesque countryside settings, reflecting the era when citrus was considered exotic. The 45th edition revives this historical botanical documentation in faithful detail, preserving the artistry of the original engravings.
