EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Common Bent, Agrostis capillaris, a species of grass commonly known as colonial bent, browntop, or jointed rush. The illustration was created in 1837 as part of Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Sciences, published in Florence, Italy. The engraving was drawn and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840), who is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century. Turpin's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the Common Bent's slender, jointed stems and narrow, pointed leaves. The Common Bent is a cool-season perennial grass that forms dense clumps and is native to Europe, Asia, and North America. It is an important component of many grasslands and meadows, providing food and shelter for various wildlife species. The grass is also edible and was historically used as a vegetable or grain in some parts of Europe and Asia. The small, brownish-purple seeds of the Common Bent are also rich in nutrients and were used as a food source during times of scarcity. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the botanical illustrators of the 19th century and provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this common yet important grass species.
