EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Common yellow-banded caecilian, Ichthyophis glutinosus, a fascinating reptile found in Sri Lanka. The image, taken 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). It was published by Batelli e Figli and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. The illustration itself is a masterpiece created by renowned French botanical illustrator Jean Gabriel Pretre. Known for his exceptional talent, Turpin is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century.
