EDITORS COMMENTS
Hallers Apple Moss, Bartramia halleriana, is depicted in this stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Corsi, under the direction of the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). This exquisite image showcases the intricate details of Hallers Apple Moss, a unique aquatic plant that was once classified as a moss but is now recognized as a member of the Marsileaceae family. The plant's small, round, greenish-brown capsules are arranged in clusters on slender, branched stems, and are surrounded by delicate, fan-shaped leaves. The Hallers Apple Moss, also known as Bartramia dell Haller, Chuncai, or Idropeltide Porporina, is native to Europe, Asia, and North America. It thrives in shallow, nutrient-poor waters and is often found in ponds, marshes, and slow-moving streams. Turpin, considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century, expertly captured the beauty and intricacy of this fascinating plant. His meticulous attention to detail and use of hand-coloring techniques brought the plant to life in a way that was unparalleled in his time. This engraving is a testament to the rich history of botany and the importance of accurate and detailed documentation of the natural world. The Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali was a groundbreaking work that showcased the latest scientific discoveries and advancements in the field of natural history. With its exquisite illustrations and comprehensive text, it remains an invaluable resource for botanists and historians alike.
