EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Antifever fontinalis moss, also known as Fontinalis antipyretica. The image, captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published by Batelli e Figli and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, this illustration is a testament to Turpin's mastery as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. The Antifever fontinalis moss depicted here is commonly found in water bodies and holds great significance in botany and natural history. Its delicate structure and vibrant green hues make it an enchanting subject for any nature enthusiast or scientist. This particular species is also referred to as "fontanale incombustibule" highlighting its resilience against fire. With its intricate details meticulously brought to life through copperplate engraving techniques, this print offers a glimpse into the world of plants that are not only visually appealing but also possess practical uses. As an edible vegetable, this moss has been historically valued for its nutritional properties. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic finesse behind botanical illustration and the scientific exploration of plant life conducted centuries ago.
