Edible Fruits Journal — El Tesoro de la Juventud Almond Granada Boletus Lemon Pepper Botanical Plate

El Tesoro de la Juventud gathered almonds, pomegranates, mushrooms, lemons, and peppers onto a single page — organized not by botanical classification but by human utility, grouping nine edible species (Prunus dulcis, Punica granatum, Boletus edulis, Citrus, Mespilus germanica, Ceratonia siliqua, Solanum tuberosum, Cucumis melo, and Capsicum annuum) by the simple fact that they belong on the table. Rendered in chromolithographic richness by W. M. Jackson, this is one of the most charming and encyclopedic botanical illustrations of popular publishing — reproduced here in full-wrap format so the same illustration graces both front and back cover, inviting you to discover new details with every turn.
