EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Turpentine tree, also known as Bursera simaruba, in all its natural glory. The image, captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published by Batelli e Figli and engraved by Massard under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, this illustration exemplifies the exquisite botanical artistry of the time. The Turpentine tree, with its various names including Gumbo-limbo, copperwood, chaca or turpentine tree, belongs to the Burseraceae family. Native to tropical regions such as Central America and parts of South America and Florida Keys, it has been widely recognized for both its aesthetic appeal and practical uses. Its fruit is depicted in this print alongside other elements that highlight its botany and natural history. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's exceptional talent shines through in his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant color palette. Considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century, his work continues to inspire awe among art enthusiasts and scientists alike. This print not only celebrates nature's beauty but also serves as a valuable resource for those interested in studying plant life. It offers a glimpse into our rich botanical heritage while reminding us of our connection with edible plants like Bursera simaruba.
