EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of fossils belonging to the extinct Trilobites, taken by Corsi in the 19th century. The image features two distinct species - the Dudley bug or Dudley locust, Calymene blumenbachii, and Paradoxides spinulosus. These ancient creatures are brought to life through handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, a technique that adds depth and vibrancy to their delicate forms. The illustration is part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. It was skillfully drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most celebrated French botanical illustrators of his time. Trilobites were fascinating arthropods that roamed Earth's oceans over 500 million years ago. Their perfectly preserved remains provide valuable insights into prehistoric life and evolution. This print captures their unique anatomy with remarkable precision and attention to detail. Florilegius has curated this exceptional piece from Fine Art Finder's collection for enthusiasts of natural history and science alike. Whether you appreciate botany or have an interest in fossils, this artwork offers a glimpse into our planet's rich past.
