EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, published in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) in Florence, Italy, in 1837, showcases two distinct species of marine worms: the Spiny Scale Worm (Iphione muricata) and the Scaleworm (Lepidonotus clava). The illustration was drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin, who is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the intricacies of the natural world. The Spiny Scale Worm, depicted in the foreground, is characterized by its segmented body covered in tiny, spiny scales. Its elongated body is curved and sinuous, with a distinct head and tail. The Scaleworm, shown in the background, is also segmented but lacks the spiny scales of its counterpart. Instead, it boasts a long, slender body with a distinctly different head and tail structure. The intricacy of this illustration is evident in the delicate shading and the precise detailing of the worms' bodies and scales. The use of stipple engraving, a technique that involves the application of tiny dots to create tonal variations, adds depth and texture to the image. Overall, this beautiful and historically significant illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the marine world of the 19th century and the remarkable skill of its creator, Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin.
