EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the True Sago Palm, also known as Metroxylon sagu, in all its natural glory. The 19th-century handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures the intricate details of this remarkable botanical specimen. Published by Batelli e Figli and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, a renowned French botanical illustrator, this illustration is a testament to Turpin's exceptional talent. The True Sago Palm is depicted with utmost precision and accuracy, highlighting its distinctive features. This palm tree species holds great significance in both botany and food production. Its scientific names - Sagus rumphii, Sagus farinifera, and Sago del rumfio - reflect its historical importance across different regions. With its edible properties and versatile uses, the True Sago Palm has been an essential resource for centuries. It provides sago, a starchy substance extracted from the trunk of the tree that serves as a staple food source for many communities. This print not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also sheds light on the vital role plants play in sustaining human life. Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) served as a valuable reference for scientists and enthusiasts alike during that era. By featuring this exquisite illustration from Florence in 1837, we are reminded of our deep connection with nature and how it continues to inspire us through art and science today.
