About Pomologie Française
Published in 1846, Pierre-Antoine Poiteau’s Pomologie Française is one of the finest fruit books ever created. The lusciosuly illustrated folio contains 420 brilliant illustrations of French fruit varietals issued in 4 volumes. With the aid of his friend and fellow artist Pierre Jean François Turpin, Poiteau captures the abundance of France’s pomology.
The prints were rendered through the process of stipple engraving so upon close inspection, the soft contours of the fruit are composed of minute hand engraved dots rather than continuous lines. Color was then hand-applied to the prints to bring them to life.
About Pierre-Antoine Poiteau
Pierre-Antoine Poiteau’s (1766-1854) interest in botany began during his occupation as a gardener. His interest in plants and his appetite for adventure took him to Santa Domingo, Haiti and New Guinea where he oversaw the construction of botanical gardens and sourced foreign seeds and plant specimens. Poiteau’s illustrious career includes serving as head gardner at Versailles and Fontainebleau and as the head of the Botanical School of Paris. His interest in botany is memorialized in his notable publication Pomologie Française.
