EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration showcases the luscious and vibrant Citrus sinensis, commonly known as the sweet orange. Created by the skilled hand of Jean Theodore Descourtilz in the mid-19th century, this botanical drawing is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Entitled "Oranger Doux," this illustration invites us to explore the intricate details of this beloved fruit. The orange is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an fruit. As a member of the Rutaceae family, within the order Sapindales, it is part of the larger group of eudicots, or dicotyledons. The orange tree is an evergreen, bearing small, white flowers and thorny branches. The fruit, which develops from a single flower, is a round to oval-shaped citrus fruit with a thick, bright orange rind and juicy, sweet pulp. The orange tree is native to Southeast Asia, and its cultivation has spread worldwide due to its delicious taste and numerous health benefits. The fruit is rich in vitamin C, fiber, and various essential nutrients. The orange's seeds, encased within the pulp, are not typically consumed but can be pressed to extract oil or used for propagation. Descourtilz's illustration captures the essence of the orange, revealing its intricate structure and the beauty of its form. The delicate details of the rind, the subtle variations in color, and the delicate flowers all contribute to a captivating representation of this iconic fruit. This illustration is not only a testament to Descourtilz's artistic skill but also a valuable record of the natural history of the orange.
