Free Vintage Fruit and Vegetable Prints by Adolphe Millot

I am a big fan of the identification charts and posters of Adolphe Millot. This is my latest collection of his, which includes the fruit and vegetable prints.

Adolphe Philippe Millot was a French naturalist and artist who illustrated many of the natural history sections of the Larousse collection of Illustrated Dictionaries. He was also the senior illustrator at Muséum national d’histoire naturelle in Paris.

Adolphe Millot was famous for his wonderful natural history charts providing images to scientists’ texts and explanations of animals and plant illustrations.

I have featured the antique botanical posters of Adolphe Millot which just focused on his floral and fungi charts. This collection focuses just on his vintage fruit and vegetable prints. All these Adolphe Millot posters are in the public domain so you are free to use them as you wish.

To download the vintage fruit and vegetable print you want, simply click on the title above the poster. A larger image will open in a new tab in your browser.

If you right-click your mouse on that vegetable poster, you will see the option to save the image to your hard drive.

This first vintage fruit identification poster of Adolphe Millot features 71 different labelled fruits, from almonds to grapes. A key is at the bottom of the poster.

The poster features all common European fruits, including many varieties of pears and grapes.

The print first appeared in Nouveau Larousse illustré first published in France in 1897.

A second fruit poster from Nouveau Larousse illustré first published in France in 1897.

This vintage poster of Adolphe Millot includes a greater variety of fruits. Interestingly, the poster includes aubergines (eggplants), tomatoes, and peppers, which are often mistaken for vegetables.

This poster includes more tropical fruits, such as mangos, bananas, pineapples, and my favorite, mangosteen.

There are some wonderful vintage pineapple drawings and an amazing Japanese Print of Gourd fruits on Picture Box Blue.

3. Vintage Fruit Print 3

This vintage Adolphe Millot fruit poster appeared in Le Larousse pour tous, a more condensed version of the Larousse French illustrated dictionary.

This chart prints the names of each fruit next to it rather than in a key at the bottom. It is also an abridged version of the first two fruit posters.

The title of this vegetable print “Legumes et plantes potageres” translates as “vegetables and vegetable plants“.

There are some wonderful individual vintage vegetable prints here and in Mrs Beeton’s cookbook.
