EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving showcases the enchanting Lychee fruit, scientifically known as Litchi chinensis. The Lychee, also referred to as Euphoria punicea, Scythalia chinensis, or Euforia color di sangue, is a small tree native to southern China. The fruit, encased in a red, rough, and papery outer shell, reveals a luscious, juicy, and sweet inner aril surrounding a single seed. The spherical Lychee fruit is characterized by its agariciform or mushroom-like structures, known as sferulites, which are visible on the outer surface. These structures are not true fruiting bodies but rather a type of lenticel, which facilitates gas exchange between the fruit and the environment. This stunning illustration, engraved by Corsi and drawn and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, is a testament to the meticulous detail and artistic mastery of 19th-century botanical illustration. Turpin, a French botanical illustrator of great renown, is celebrated for his exceptional work in capturing the intricacies of the natural world. This illustration was published as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Science, in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The Dizionario was a comprehensive work that aimed to document the natural sciences, making it an invaluable resource for scientific research and education during the time. This particular illustration not only showcases the beauty of the Lychee fruit but also contributes to the broader understanding of botany and natural history.
