EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures the beauty and intricacy of marine life, featuring the Stargazer, Rough Uranoscope, Uranoscopus scaber and dragonet, Small Callionyme, Callionymus lyra. The detailed illustration is from Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences" published between 1816-1830.
The artist J.G. Pretre expertly depicts these fascinating creatures with precision and artistry, showcasing their unique features and vibrant colors. Engraved by Plee under the direction of Turpin, this print exemplifies the scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal that defined natural history illustrations during this period.
Hippolyte Cloquet, a renowned natural historian and doctor of medicine, edited the volumes on fish and reptiles in which these species were featured. The collaboration between scientists and artists in producing such works not only served educational purposes but also contributed to the appreciation of biodiversity among audiences.
This particular print is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating botanical engravings during the early 19th century. It serves as a visual record of marine life at that time while also highlighting the intersection between art and science in documenting nature's wonders for future generations to admire.
