EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas, which is unfortunately classified as an endangered species. The image was captured by Corsi in the 19th century and has been beautifully handcoloured to bring out the intricate details of this magnificent creature. The print is part of Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, also known as the Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy in 1837. It features a copperplate stipple engraving created by Stanghi and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin himself is renowned as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. The illustration provides both a side view and underview perspective of the Green sea turtle, allowing us to admire its unique markings and graceful form. Its scientific name Chelonia mydas reflects its connection to marine life and herpetology. As we gaze upon this stunning artwork, it serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our fragile ecosystems and protecting endangered species like the Green sea turtle. Through images like these, we can appreciate their beauty while raising awareness about their vulnerability. This print from Bridgeman Images captures not only a moment frozen in time but also carries with it a powerful message about conservation efforts for our natural world.
