EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fossil skull of an extinct Mososaurus found at Mstricht 1, alongside the palates of various unknown species of fish. The image, created by Carini in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these ancient creatures back to life on paper. The Mososaurus skull, with its sharp teeth and powerful jaw, serves as a reminder of the once mighty rulers of the seas. Its discovery in Mstricht adds to our understanding of prehistoric marine life. Accompanying this impressive find are palates from different species of extinct fish. These delicate structures provide valuable insights into their feeding habits and evolutionary adaptations. Each palate tells a unique story about these mysterious underwater inhabitants that roamed our oceans long ago. The collaboration between Carini's artistic talent, Jean Gabriel Pretre's skilled drawings, and Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's direction has resulted in an illustration that captures both scientific accuracy and aesthetic beauty. Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, this piece is part of Turpin's remarkable contribution to botanical illustration during the 19th century. It stands as a testament to his skill as one of France's greatest artists within this field. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at the wonders preserved within fossils while appreciating the artistry involved in capturing their essence for generations to come.
