EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of narwal shrimp, leptostracan, and mysid shrimp. The image, captured by Corsi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The print features Plesionika narval (narwal shrimp) numbered 1-4, Nebalia herbstii (leptostracan) marked as number 5, and Mysis oculata (mysid shrimp) represented as number 6. Other crustaceans depicted include Palemon pristis (palemone seghettato), Rostro del Palemo (rostral palemo), Rostri del Palemone variabile (variable rostri of palemone), Nebalia d Herbst, and Misi del Fabricio. The illustration was meticulously drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin himself is renowned as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artwork offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of marine life. It serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic talent. This remarkable piece provides an opportunity for viewers to appreciate the diversity and splendor found within our oceans. Published by Batelli e Figli and now available through Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, this print is not only visually stunning but also holds significant historical value in the field of natural history research.
