EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Bootlace, worms, proboscis, ribbon," is a captivating illustration of various marine invertebrates from the class Sipuncula, also known as peanut or ribbon worms. The illustration, published in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali or Dictionary of Natural Science in Florence, Italy, in 1837, showcases several species, including the Bootlace worm (Lineus longissimus), Borlasia anglica, Proboscis worm (Cerebratulus bilineatus), Tubulanus polymorphus, and Tubulanus elegans. The illustration was meticulously drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, who is considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century. Turpin's expertise is evident in the intricate details and lifelike accuracy of the illustration. The Bootlace worm, also known as the long, slender, and unsegmented marine invertebrate, is depicted at the top of the illustration. The Proboscis worm, characterized by its long proboscis or feeding tube, is illustrated in the middle, while the Ribbon worms, known for their long, flat bodies, are shown at the bottom. These marine invertebrates, although not commercially significant, have fascinated scientists and naturalists for centuries due to their unique morphology and behavior. The illustration provides a glimpse into the natural world of the past and showcases the beauty and diversity of marine life.
