By J. C. Volkamer

Citrons, lemons, and bitter oranges float like heavenly bodies above Italian villas, Nuremberg gardens, and picturesque countryside in J. C. Volkamer’s ode to the citrus fruit. Reproducing a hand-colored set of copper plates, this publication shows 170 varieties of citrus fruits, reviving a time when citrus fruits were exotic.

Claire ★★★★★ Nov 5, 2026

I've never seen citrus reproduced at this quality before—the Nuremberg garden plates are almost impossibly detailed, right down to the leaves. It's a book I keep out on the coffee table just to flip through slowly.

Samuel ★★★★★ Nov 4, 2026

The plates of lemons and bitter oranges floating over those Italian villas are genuinely gorgeous, and the reproduction quality holds up close. I leave it on the coffee table and catch guests flipping through it for way longer than expected.

I had no idea citrus engravings could be this gorgeous. The plates of citrons and bitter oranges floating above Italian villas are the kind of thing I keep flipping back to, and the print quality holds up to close looking.
