EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of fossils belonging to extinct ammonite species. The intricate handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, created by Corsi in the 19th century, beautifully captures the delicate details and unique characteristics of these ancient creatures. The fossils featured in this print include Ammonite di Caen, Ammonite di Deslongchamps, Ammonite di Bayeux, and Ammonite di Braikenridge. Each specimen is meticulously depicted with precision and artistry. Originally published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali" (Dictionary of Natural Science), this illustration represents a significant contribution to the field of natural history. The collaboration between Corsi's engraving skills and Jean Gabriel Pretre's artistic vision resulted in an exquisite representation that has stood the test of time. As we gaze upon these fossilized remnants from millions of years ago, we are reminded of the incredible diversity that once thrived on our planet. These ammonites were once living organisms inhabiting Earth's oceans but have long since vanished from existence. This print serves as both a scientific record and a work of art – capturing not only the beauty found within nature but also preserving crucial knowledge about our planet's past inhabitants. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and our ongoing quest to understand the wonders that lie beneath our feet.
