EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, created in 1837, showcases two remarkable aquatic creatures: the Two-toed Amphiuma (Amphiuma means) and the critically endangered Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), also known as the Mexican walking fish or the Mexican salamander. The illustration was drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy. The Two-toed Amphiuma, depicted on the left, is a type of eel-like, lungless salamander. With its long, slender body and two small, fleshy toes on each hind limb, it is well-adapted to its semi-aquatic habitat. Its scientific name, Amphiuma means, translates to 'earth-living water-snake,' reflecting its amphibious lifestyle. On the right, the critically endangered Axolotl, a native of Mexico, is shown in its adult form. This unique salamander is renowned for its ability to regenerate lost body parts, making it a subject of scientific fascination. The Axolotl's smooth, pink skin, external gills, and distinctive proboscis add to its striking appearance. Its scientific name, Ambystoma mexicanum, means 'glove of Mexico,' reflecting the shape of its hind limbs. Turpin, the illustrator, was a French botanical illustrator of the 19th century, considered one of the greatest in his field. This illustration, engraved by Corsi, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistry of the time. The intricate stipple engraving technique used in this print adds depth and texture to the image, making it a valuable historical record of these fascinating creatures.
