EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Fossils of Extinct Sea Urchins: Ananchites ovale 1, Galerites globulosus 2, and Nucleolites patella 3," is an exquisite illustration from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The intricately detailed drawing was executed by Jean Gabriel Pretre under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, a renowned French botanical illustrator of the 19th century. The illustration showcases three extinct species of sea urchins: Ananchites ovale, Galerites globulosus, and Nucleolites patella. Ananchites ovale, depicted in the foreground, is characterized by its ovate shape and small size. The middle sea urchin, Galerites globulosus, displays a round, globular shape, while Nucleolites patella, in the background, is distinguished by its flat, disc-like form. These extinct sea urchins are accompanied by various marine organisms, including lugworms (Arenicola marina), sandworms (Clymene), amphistomatids (Amphistoma), and possibly the pescatori clam (Climene), which were likely discovered in the same fossil deposits. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring further enhance the beauty and scientific accuracy of this remarkable work. Turpin's mastery of the copperplate stipple engraving technique is evident in the intricate texture and shading of the illustration, which brings the ancient sea creatures to life. This artwork not only serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity of the ancient oceans but also highlights the exceptional skill and dedication of the illustrators and scientists of the time.
