EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of two remarkable fish species - the Longtail croaker, Lonchurus lanceolatus, and the meagre, croaker, stone bass, shadefish, Argyrosomus regius. The image takes us back to the 19th century when this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving was created by Corsi. The Longtail croaker is a stunning creature with its elongated body and vibrant colors that seem to shimmer under the water's surface. Its graceful presence is complemented by the meagre, a fish known for its unique markings and elegant form. Together they create an enchanting scene that captures our imagination. This artwork comes from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence in 1837. Jean Gabriel Pretre skillfully drew these magnificent creatures under Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's direction. Turpin himself is renowned as one of France's greatest botanical illustrators during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this illustration engraved by Corsi, we are transported into a world where science meets artistry. It reminds us of the wonders found within our natural world and encourages us to appreciate and protect these incredible marine species. With every intricate detail captured in this print, it serves as a reminder of how nature can inspire awe-inspiring creations both on land and beneath the waves. This image truly brings together science, history, and artistry into one breathtaking composition that continues to captivate viewers even today.
