EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Mango, fruit and section, Mangifera indica," is a beautiful example of the exquisite botanical illustrations found in Jussieus 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), and engraved by Schmeltz. Turpin is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century, known for his meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the true essence of the plants he depicted. The illustration showcases the mango fruit (Mangifera indica), also known as the "king of fruits," in all its glory. The fruit is depicted in cross-section, revealing its unique anatomy, with its large seed encased in the center. The intricate details of the seed and the fibrous texture of the fruit are beautifully rendered in the engraving. The surrounding foliage and branches are also depicted, providing context and further showcasing the beauty of the mango tree. Mangoes are native to South Asia and have been cultivated for thousands of years. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a popular and healthy choice for people around the world. In addition to the mango, the illustration also includes a section of the boxthorn (Lycium barbarum), another plant commonly depicted in botanical texts of the time. The goji berry (Lycium chinense), another popular superfood, was not yet widely known in Europe during the 19th century. This beautiful and intricate illustration is a testament to the importance of botanical exploration and documentation during the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
