First published in 1708, his work pictures 170 varieties of citrons, lemons, and bitter oranges at life size, each fruit hovering above a view of an Italian villa or garden in compositions that feel equal parts botanical record and daydream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Taschen edition, introduced by Iris Lauterbach, draws on recently discovered hand-colored copies held in the municipal archive of Fürth, along with 56 newly found illustrations intended for a third volume that was never published.
