EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures the intricate details of the Gulper shark, Centrophorus granulosus, also known as Centrin humantin. Created by J.G. Pretre and engraved by Victor under the direction of Turpin, this illustration is a masterpiece from Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences" published between 1816-1830.
The volumes on fish and reptiles in this dictionary were edited by Hippolyte Cloquet, a renowned natural historian and doctor of medicine. The level of precision and accuracy in depicting this fascinating creature showcases the dedication to scientific knowledge during the 19th century.
The Gulper shark is depicted with its distinctive features beautifully highlighted through delicate handcolouring. Its unique anatomy and characteristics are brought to life in this engraving, offering viewers a glimpse into the world of marine life as studied by early naturalists.
This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also as an important historical document reflecting advancements in zoological studies during that period. It stands as a testament to the passion for exploration and discovery that drove scientists like Cloquet to expand our understanding of the natural world.
Through this print, we are reminded of the beauty and complexity found within nature's creations, inviting us to appreciate and protect these incredible species for generations to come.
