EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, entitled "Bristle Worms or Sea Mice," is an exquisite illustration from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali," or "Dictionary of Natural Science," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. The illustration features several species of bristle worms or sea mice, which are actually a type of polychaete annelid. The first specimen, labeled as the "Golden Fireworm" or Chloeia flava, is depicted in the center of the image. Its vibrant, golden coloration stands out against the dark background. To the left of the Golden Fireworm, there are two other species: Eurythoe complanata and Anfinome flava. The former is commonly known as the "Sand-sifting Worm," while the latter is called the "Golden Naked Worm." Both species have distinctive features, such as long, slender bodies and numerous bristles or setae. The remaining three species, Euphrosina laureata, Aristena conspurcata, and Pleione alcyonea, are depicted to the right of the Golden Fireworm. Euphrosina laureata, also known as the "Laurel Sea Mouse," is characterized by its long, curved bristles and pale coloration. Aristena conspurcata, or the "Spotted Sea Mouse," has a spotted body and long, white bristles. Lastly, Pleione alcyonea, or the "Sea Mouse with White Bristles," has a white body and long, white bristles, making it easily distinguishable from the other species. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of 19th-century scientific illustration. Turpin, who oversaw the direction of this work, was considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the time. The illustration was engraved by Corsi and published by Batelli e Figli.
