EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of fossils from extinct molluscs, taking us on a journey back in time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these ancient creatures to life, allowing us to marvel at their once-thriving existence. The image features two remarkable specimens: Ichthyosarcolites triangularis 1 and Gervillia solenoidea 2. These meticulously handcolored copperplate stipple engravings were created by the talented French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin in collaboration with Antoine Laurent de Jussieu for his renowned work "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali" (Dictionary of Natural Science) published in Florence, Italy in 1837. Turpin's artistic prowess shines through as he masterfully captures every minute detail of these long-extinct molluscs. His illustrations are not only scientifically accurate but also visually stunning, making him one of the most celebrated botanical illustrators of the 19th century. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where marine life thrived millions of years ago. It serves as a reminder that our planet has undergone countless transformations throughout history and that even seemingly invincible species can vanish over time. This print is not just an artwork; it is a testament to the wonders of natural history and an invitation to explore the mysteries hidden within Earth's geological past.
