EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Coconut palm, Cocos nucifera 1, banana, Musa paradisiaca 2, sugar cane, Saccharum officinale 3, flag, Iris germanica 4, Poets daffodil, Narcissus poeticus 5, and fern, Cymbidium echinocarpon 6," is a beautiful illustration from Jussieus Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was drawn and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator, Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840), and engraved by Verico. Turpin is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century, known for his meticulous attention to detail and lifelike representations of plants. In this illustration, we see a variety of edible and vegetable plants, including the coconut palm, banana, and sugar cane. The coconut palm is depicted with its distinctive fronds and coconuts, while the banana plant is shown with its large, green leaves and bunches of yellow fruit. The sugar cane is illustrated with its tall, sturdy stalks and the characteristic nodes from which sugar is extracted. The illustration also includes other plants, such as the iris, poets daffodil, and fern. The iris is shown with its vibrant, blue-purple flowers, while the poets daffodil, or Narcissus poeticus, is depicted with its yellow blooms. The fern, Cymbidium echinocarpon, is illustrated with its intricate fronds and delicate, white flowers. This beautiful illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the 19th century and the remarkable work of one of the greatest botanical illustrators of all time.
