EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Yellow-footed tortoise, also known as the Brazilian giant tortoise. The artist, Corsi, skillfully handcolored this copperplate stipple engraving to bring out the intricate details of this vulnerable species. The Yellow-footed tortoise is a true marvel of nature with its striking shell and vibrant yellow markings on its legs. This large turtle belongs to the Chelonoidis denticulatus Testudo tabulata Testuginne intarsiata family and can be found in Brazil. Its unique appearance makes it easily recognizable among other turtle species. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 by Batelli e Figli, this illustration was part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Jean Gabriel Pretre expertly captured the essence of this incredible creature while Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin directed his artistic vision. Turpin himself is considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators from the 19th century. His attention to detail and ability to depict natural subjects with precision shines through in this print. Displayed against a white background, every line and color choice emphasizes the beauty and vulnerability of these creatures. This image serves as a reminder that we must protect our natural world and preserve these remarkable species for future generations to admire.
