A pair of plates from "Traite des Arbres Fruitiers" by Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau 1768
Henri Duhamel du Monceau (1700-82) was a justifiably celebrated Parisian physician, naval engineer and botanist who settled near the French Botanical Gardens. He cultivated trees on his own estates, authored a number of important books on topics as diverse as agronomy, marine architecture, and ichthyology, and was a member of all the important scientific academies.
Madeleine Françoise Basseporte, was a French painter. From 1741 until her death, she served as the Royal Painter for the King's Garden and Cabinet, an unprecedented appointment for a woman artist at the time.
Engraved by Henriquez Herisset fils and Basseporte
This frame and matting on this pair are incredibly complementary to the subjects. These will not disappoint. Notice the deep plate marks.
