EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, a unique and intriguing marine creature. The image is taken from Jussieu's Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles, published by F.G. Levrault between 1816 and 1830. The illustration was created by the skilled artist Jean Gabriel Pretre, who was known for his work as a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later became an artist at the Museum of Natural History. The Lamprey, also known as the European brook lamprey or the sea lamprey, is a type of jawless fish that possesses a distinct elongated body and a series of circular, sucking discs on its mouth, which it uses to attach itself to its prey and feed. This engraving captures the intricate details of the Lamprey's anatomy, from its gill slits to its dorsal and pectoral fins. The engraving process used to create this image involved the transfer of the artist's drawing onto a copper plate, which was then etched with tiny dots to create the desired shading and texture. The plate was then inked and hand-colored, resulting in a vivid and lifelike representation of the Lamprey. This beautiful and historical image offers a glimpse into the natural world of the early 19th century, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The Lamprey, with its unique features and fascinating biology, continues to captivate scientists and naturalists alike, making this engraving a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art.
