EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures the beauty of a Box turtle, scientifically known as Terrapene carolina. This species is classified as near threatened, making this artwork not only visually stunning but also a poignant reminder of the importance of conservation efforts.
Created by J.G. Pretre and engraved by David under the direction of Turpin, this illustration is part of Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences" from 1816-1830. The volumes on fish and reptiles were overseen by Hippolyte Cloquet, a natural historian and doctor of medicine.
The intricate details in this print showcase the meticulous skill and dedication that went into creating scientific illustrations during the 19th century. From the texture of the turtle's shell to its delicate features, every aspect has been carefully rendered with precision.
As we admire this artwork today, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of scientific inquiry. It serves as a testament to our ongoing fascination with nature and our responsibility to protect endangered species like the Box turtle for future generations to appreciate.
