EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Serrated wrack, Fucus serratus 1, Desmarests flattened weed, Desmarestia aculeata 2, and brown algae, Halidrys siliquosa 3," is a beautiful example of the exquisite botanical illustrations found in Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The illustration was drawn and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840), who is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century. The engraving features four different species of seaweed, showcasing their intricate details and textures. The first seaweed depicted is the Serrated wrack, Fucus serratus, with its serrated edges and long, narrow fronds. The second seaweed is Desmarests flattened weed, Desmarestia aculeata, characterized by its flat, ribbed thallus and pointed tips. The third seaweed is the brown alga Halidrys siliquosa, which is easily recognizable by its long, cylindrical holdfast and slender, spirally twisted stipe. This illustration provides a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the marine environment and the meticulous attention to detail that was employed by botanical illustrators during the 19th century. The use of the copperplate stipple engraving technique adds an additional layer of intricacy, resulting in a highly detailed and visually stunning representation of these seaweed species. The Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali was an important scientific work that aimed to document the natural world, and this illustration is a testament to the dedication and expertise of Turpin and the team behind its publication. Today, it serves as a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the natural world, offering a glimpse into the past and the beauty of the marine ecosystem.
