EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, in all its intricate beauty. The 19th-century artwork by Corsi is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, Dictionary of Natural Science. The image transports us to the depths of Florence, Italy, where this remarkable illustration was created in 1837. Engraved by Corsi and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, it is a testament to their artistic prowess and attention to detail. Limulus polyphemus takes center stage with its unique shape and texture. Its arched body and spiky tail are beautifully rendered through delicate strokes of color. The artist's meticulousness brings out the creature's essence, capturing every curve and contour. Jean Gabriel Pretre's skillful drawing adds depth and dimension to this masterpiece. His collaboration with Turpin has resulted in an exquisite representation of one of nature's wonders. Published by Batelli e Figli, this print stands as a tribute to Turpin's legacy as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. His contribution to scientific artistry cannot be overstated.
