About the Book: Lemons, limes, and bitter oranges float like celestial bodies over Italian villas, Nuremberg gardens, and picturesque landscapes in J. C. Volkamer's ode to citrus fruit. This volume is based on one of the few surviving sets of hand-colored copperplate engravings from the 18th century and showcases around 170 citrus varieties. In the style of surreal scenes, they conjure a time when such fruits were still truly exotic.
Biography: Iris Lauterbach is a member of the research department of the Central Institute for Art History in Munich and teaches "History of Garden Art" at the Technical University of Munich. Her main areas of research 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.
