EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Disc Jellyfish, Eudora ondulosa disopra: A Historical Insight into the Beauty and Complexity of the Marine World" This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving showcases the Disc Jellyfish species, Eudora ondulosa disopra. The image is taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Corsi, with drawings by Jean Gabriel Pretre and direction by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin (1775-1840), a renowned French botanical illustrator of the 19th century, is celebrated for his meticulous and detailed work. This engraving highlights the intricate beauty of the Disc Jellyfish, a hydrozoan species characterized by its round, disc-shaped bell and trailing oral arms. The blue, button-like appearance of Eudora ondulosa disopra is further accentuated by the delicate shading and hues in this illustration. The Disc Jellyfish is not to be confused with other jellyfish species, such as the Porpita, Capelluta, Gigantea, or Glandifera. Each species possesses unique characteristics and plays a vital role in the marine ecosystem. This engraving not only serves as a testament to the intricacies of marine life but also showcases the exceptional skill and artistry of Turpin and his collaborators. The Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali was a significant contribution to the scientific community, documenting various species and furthering our understanding of the natural world. This disc jellyfish illustration, in particular, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the remarkable attention to detail that characterized the scientific illustrations of the time.
