Set of three antique prints depicting:
1) Leonilla turns into an orange tree.
2) Harmonillus turns into a lemon tree.
3) Tirsenia turns into a lemon tree.
These prints originate from 'Hesperides, sive, De malorvm avreorvm cvltura et vsv libri quatuor' by Giovanni Battista Ferrari, published in 1646. The prints are an illustration for the introduction by G.B. Ferraris book on citrus fruits. The author tries to explain the origin of the different lemon varieties through self-invented mythological stories.
