EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the extinct crinoid species, Encrinus Encrino d Europa. The image is taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Sciences, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Corsi, with drawings by Jean Gabriel Pretre and direction by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Crinoids, also known as sea lilies, are a group of echinoderms characterized by their stemmed, cup-shaped bodies and feathery arms. Encrinus Encrino d Europa is believed to be extinct, with no known living representatives. The intricate details of this extinct crinoid are beautifully captured in the engraving. The image shows a colony of Encrinus Encrino d Europa, with multiple polyp zooids arranged on a central stem. Each zooid is surrounded by a ring of tentacles, which are adorned with small, round apical structures. The arms of the crinoid are covered in small, tubular structures called pinnules, which are arranged in clusters called grappoli. The image also shows several other marine organisms, including the jellyfish Apolemia and the red alga Uvaria. The presence of these organisms in the same illustration highlights the complex interconnectedness of marine ecosystems during the time period. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840) was a renowned French botanical illustrator of the 19th century. His meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the intricacies of various organisms made him one of the greatest botanical illustrators of his time. The engraving of Encrinus Encrino d Europa is a testament to his skill and the scientific curiosity of the time.
