Here Salvador Dalí has transformed a botanical illustration from Antoine Poiteaus ‘Pomology Francaise’, published in 1846 as stipple engraving, to a surrealist composition. Claw feet grow from halfed Orange, a female torso blows as flag on a pole and a branch grows a fantasy figure of leaves, fruits and human extremities. Thus, the objectivity of the botanical Illustration turns to a subjective dream world.
