About the book: Lemons, limes, and bitter oranges float like celestial bodies above Italian villas, Nuremberg gardens, and picturesque landscapes in J. C. Volckamer's ode to the citrus fruit. This volume is based on one of the few surviving sets of hand-colored copperplate engravings from the 18th century and shows around 170 citrus varieties. In the style of surreal scenes, they evoke a time when such fruits were still truly exotic.
Biography: Iris Lauterbach is a member of the research department at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich and teaches "History of Garden Art" at the Technical University of Munich. Her main research areas include the restitution of looted art after 1945, the 18th century in France, and the history of European garden art from the 16th to the 20th century.
