EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Seagrape or baygrape, scientifically known as Coccoloba uvifera or Uva marina. The image is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy in 1837. It was skillfully engraved by Corsi and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most renowned French botanical illustrators of the 19th century. The Seagrape or baygrape depicted in this illustration is a fascinating plant with its luscious clusters of grapes-like fruits. Its scientific name "Coccoloba uvifera" hints at its resemblance to traditional grapevines. Native to coastal regions of tropical America and the Caribbean islands, this edible fruit-bearing plant has long been cherished for both its aesthetic appeal and culinary uses. With vibrant colors brought to life through handcolouring techniques, this print beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable species. The intricate details meticulously portrayed make it an invaluable resource for botany enthusiasts and natural history researchers alike. As we admire this exquisite artwork created almost two centuries ago, let us appreciate not only the beauty but also the scientific significance it holds. This image serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our continuous efforts to document and understand them better.
