EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Sawfish, or Carpenter Shark, Pristis pristis, a unique and intriguing marine species. The image is taken from Jussieus Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles, published by F.G. Levrault between 1816 and 1830. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The Sawfish, also known as the Carpenter Shark, is a large, elongated fish with a distinctive rostrum, or saw-like snout, which is covered in closely spaced, triangular teeth. This feature is used to locate and stun prey, which is then swallowed whole. The Sawfish is a slow-moving, bottom-dwelling shark, found primarily in shallow, coastal waters of the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans. This beautiful engraving, directed by Turpin and engraved by Massard, captures the Sawfish's unique features in exquisite detail. The intricate stipple technique used in the engraving process allows for a high level of texture and depth, bringing the Sawfish to life on the page. The handcoloring adds an additional layer of vibrancy and realism, making this a truly breathtaking representation of this fascinating species. Jean Gabriel Pretre's work was renowned for its accuracy and attention to detail, making this engraving an invaluable resource for naturalists and scientists of the time. Today, it serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and the importance of preserving and studying these unique creatures.
