Antique Prints of Citrus Fruits
Nuremberg Hesperides, 1708-1714 by Johann Volckamer ( Volkamer )
Just look and enjoy the splendor of these leaves: copper engravings in magnificent color of citrus fruit and blossoms, oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, whole and cut open, and all of them richly hanging in the sky over landscapes, architecture, gardens which Volckamer, a publisher at Nuremberg, placed in and around his city of Nuremberg and, in the "Continuation" after the Nuremberg sites, palazzi, country houses and gardens in northern Italy, mostly the area of Verona (titles indicate the name of the chateau, garden or town). Some of these extremely rare as well as uniquely decorative prints were engraved by Paulus Decker the Elder, L.C Glotsch, B. Kenckel, C.F. Krieger, J. A. Montalegre, W. Pfan, and J.C. Steinberger. The preparatory work for this comprehensive work goes back to 1695.
In the less benign climate of central Europe, where winters could be quite severe, it had become fashionable among the aristocracy and also among well-to-be burgers to create "orangeries" in their private parks, greenhouses, tall enough to house even palmtrees in the wintertime. the frost-endangered citrus plants were wheeled out for the summer and back into the greenhouse late in fall to hybernate in a climate artificially created by heating. It was a longing for warmth and the Mediterranean which people craved in the North. And J. Volckamer created exactly the stuff, that dreams of this kind are made of.

"Arethusa"
Copper etching by Ludwig Christoph Glotsch after the drawing by Paul Decker sen. (1677-1713).
Published in Johann Christph Volckamer's "Nuremberg Hesperides" 1708/13. as a second title.
Arethusa was one of the hesperides (nymphs) in Greek Mythology. She was considered the guardian of citrus fruit. The Hesperides tend a "blissful garden" in the farthest western part of the (then known) world. There are various places named by antique historians and poets. The Canary Islands, however, were the farthest west known in the antique world. Other sources state north-west Africa (Atlas) to be the place.
The Hesperides were also called Heras's orchard in the west. There immortality-giving golden apples grew. One of Hercules' twelve labors was to bring back the Golden Apples from the Garden of the Hesperides.
Volckamer adorned his stunning garden book with citrus fruit (in Nuremberg and in Northern Italy). This engraving of great beauty is a title page in his work, dedicated to Arethusa. The nymph is sitting in the Hesperide Garden holding a citrus fruit in her hand. Two winged putti by her feet on either side of a basket full of citrus fruit.. A classical garden with fountains is the scene behind, and in the far distance lively traffic of sailships.
Left and right margins have been widened. Some very minor traces of age and use. Image very good!
