EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Brittle star echinoderm, specifically Ophiomastix annulosa and Ophiura annulosa. The image, captured by Finocchi in the 19th century, 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. The delicate details of this marine creature are brought to life through the skillful artistry of Jean Gabriel Pretre and Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin, renowned as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time, directed the creation of this illustration. The Brittle star echinoderm is depicted with precision and accuracy, showcasing its unique characteristics. Its graceful arms extend outward like fragile tendrils while its circular body exhibits a mesmerizing pattern. This stunning portrayal allows us to appreciate the wonders that lie beneath our oceans. This print not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also holds significant scientific value. It represents a moment frozen in time when naturalists were exploring and documenting various species for further understanding.
