EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving depicts the critically endangered Radiated Tortoise, Astrochelys radiata, from the Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Corsi, drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre, and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin (1775-1840) is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century, known for his meticulous attention to detail and naturalistic representation of plants and animals. The Radiated Tortoise, also known as the Astrochelys radiata, is native to Madagascar and is critically endangered due to habitat loss and poaching for the pet trade. In this illustration, the tortoise is depicted with intricate patterns of radiating lines and spots, reflecting its distinctive appearance. The background features various plants, including Virginia Spiderwort, Tradescantia virginica, and Tradescantia virginiana. The Radiated Tortoise is an omnivore, feeding on a variety of vegetation, fruits, and animal matter. The illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating species, highlighting its intricate details and the importance of preserving its habitat. Turpin's masterful illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, showcasing the Radiated Tortoise in all its glory.
