Cedro lemon : “it has no equal,” Volckamer

This is an 18th-century, hand-colored engraving by Johann Christoph Volckamer from his workÂ NÃ¼rnbergische Hesperides, published between 1708 and 1714. The print showcases a large citron fruit floating above the Palazzo del N.H. Finni in Mira Vechia, Italy. The work is a significant botanical set focusing on various citrus fruits, a novelty at the time in northern Europe.Â

The text on the scroll above the fruit, “imo non ha pari,” translates to “it has no equal”.Â
