EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate skeletons of two long-extinct dinosaurs, Ichthyosaurus and Plesiosaurus. The image, taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), transports us back to the 19th century when scientific exploration was at its peak. The delicate copperplate stipple engraving, skillfully executed by Corsi under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, captures every minute detail of these prehistoric creatures. It is a testament to Turpin's exceptional talent as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. The first skeleton depicted is that of Ichthyosaurus communis, commonly known as an ichthyosaur. Its streamlined body and large eyes indicate its adaptation for life in water during the Mesozoic era. Next to it lies the skeleton of Plesiosaurus dolichodeirus, a plesiosaur with a distinctive long neck and paddle-like limbs. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are reminded not only of Earth's ancient past but also our insatiable curiosity about nature's wonders. These skeletons serve as tangible evidence that allows us to piece together fragments from a distant world lost in time. This print serves as a visual feast for enthusiasts fascinated by paleontology or those simply captivated by natural history. It stands as an enduring tribute to both scientific discovery and artistic mastery; an exquisite fusion between science and art captured forever on paper.
