EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fossil skeleton of an extinct Anoplotherium commune, a remarkable creature from the past. The image, created by Corsi in the 19th century, is a copperplate stipple engraving featured in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The intricate illustration was drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, who is renowned as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time.

It serves as a testament to both scientific discovery and artistic talent. This print offers viewers a glimpse into our planet's rich history and reminds us of the diverse range of life forms that have inhabited Earth throughout its existence.
