About the Item
Antique Fruit Prints by Poiteau and Turpin, Hand-Colored Botanical Engravings
Description:
This exquisite compilation features three antique botanical plates from the celebrated French publication 'Pomologie Française', originally published between 1807 and 1835. These hand-colored copperplate engravings were created by Pierre Jean François Turpin, one of the most accomplished botanical illustrators of the 19th century, and were based on studies by the esteemed horticulturist Pierre Antoine Poiteau.
The prints showcase detailed and highly artistic renderings of different fruit varieties, including peaches, pears, and apples. Each composition includes not only the ripe fruits themselves but also branches, blossoms, seeds, and foliage, offering a comprehensive botanical study. The scientific accuracy, fine linework, and vivid hand-coloring reflect the French Enlightenment’s blend of science and aesthetics.
Plate titles include:
* Pêcher Nain (Dwarf Peach)
* Fondante de Brest and Sans-peau (Pear Varieties)
* Calville Rouge, Api, and Calville d'Été (Apple Varieties)
These works were originally intended to illustrate and classify French fruit cultivars in great detail for scientific and agricultural purposes. Today, they are admired for their beauty, historical value, and decorative appeal. The plates in this set are unified in scale and style, making them ideal for display as a single large framed piece or as a triptych in a kitchen, study, or botanical-themed interior.
Collectors and decorators alike will appreciate the historical importance and visual harmony of these early 19th-century engravings. Their mix of scientific accuracy and delicate coloration places them among the finest examples of botanical printmaking from the Napoleonic era.
