Description

The last lonely citrus left so cheaper as homeless . A scarce Pierre-Antoine Poiteau (1766-1854) orange print Starting as a gardener, Poiteau became head of the Botanical School of Paris. He traveled extensively, visiting Santa Domingo, Haiti and New Guinea, supervising botanical gardens and bringing back to France seeds and new species.Head of some of the great botanical gardens of France, including Versailles and Fontainebleau. Poiteau collaborated with many of the great botanists and illustrators of the day, including Turpin and was probably the most talented pupil of Redoute.
These are stipple engravings from Joseph Risso & Pierre Poiteau's Histoire Naturelle des Orangers (Natural History of Oranges) published in 1818 to 1820 (hence latest date being listed).
