EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Nereids," is a stunning illustration from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Carini, with drawings directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). Turpin is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century, known for his meticulous attention to detail and ability to bring the natural world to life through his art. The illustration depicts several species of Nereids, which are deep-sea polychaete worms. The first Nereid shown, Leodice antennata, is identified by its long antennae and fan-like appendages. The second Nereid, Nereidonta antennata, is characterized by its feather-like duster and spirobranchus, or spiral branchiae. The third Nereid, Eunice sanguinea, is distinguished by its red coloration and the presence of the Sabella spallanzanii, a type of tubeworm, attached to its body. The illustration also includes several other marine organisms, such as Spallanzania gigantea, or Amphitrite ventilabrum, and Cymospira gigantea, which are likely to inhabit the same deep-sea environment as the Nereids. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate structures of the marine organisms to the textured background, showcase the skill and artistry of Turpin and his collaborators. This beautiful work of art not only serves as a testament to the natural wonders of the deep sea but also as a historical record of the scientific discoveries of the 19th century. The illustration invites us to appreciate the intricacies of the marine ecosystem and the beauty of the natural world.
