EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Onyx Agate. Agata onice, con la sua scorza, a zone innumerevoli," is a beautiful illustration of Onyx agate from the "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali," or "Dictionary of Natural Sciences," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The engraving was drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and published by Batelli e Figli. Onyx agate, also known as Onyx, Aphanite, Chalcedony, Flint, Mastoid, Afanite, Selenite, Calcedonious Mastoid, and Rock Crystal, is a type of chalcedony quartz that forms in bands or layers of various colors. In this illustration, we see the agate's intricate and mesmerizing patterns, which are reminiscent of the onyx stone's traditional use as an ornamental gemstone. The illustration was created during the 19th century, a time when the study of natural sciences, including geology and mineralogy, was experiencing significant advancements. The hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving technique was a popular method used to create detailed and accurate scientific illustrations. The process involved creating a series of tiny dots, or stipples, on a copper plate using a stylus. The plate was then inked and pressed onto paper, transferring the image. The artist, Jean Gabriel Pretre, was a renowned French botanical illustrator, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the beauty and complexity of natural forms. His work, along with that of other great illustrators of the time, such as Antoine Laurent de Jussieu and Gabriel Pretre, contributed significantly to the advancement of scientific knowledge and understanding of the natural world. This exquisite illustration is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world and the importance of scientific exploration and documentation. It is a reminder of the rich history of scientific discovery and the enduring fascination with the wonders of nature.
