It’s National Strawberry Day, though we don’t need an excuse to post these delicious illustrations from Pomologie française : recueil des plus beaux fruits cultivés en France (1846).
The plates were illustrated by various artists, including Pierre Jean François Turpin, though the work itself is from botanist and fellow illustrator Pierre Antoine Poiteau, and can be found in our branch at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum and online in the Biodiversity Heritage Library.
Pardon our drooling…
