EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, titled "European Barracuda and Perch," is a captivating illustration from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali" or "Dictionary of Natural Science," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Carini, with drawings by Jean Gabriel Pretre and direction by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. The image features two distinct aquatic species: the European Barracuda (Sphyraena sphyraena) and the Perch (Perca fluviatilis). The European Barracuda, also known as the Mediterranean Barracuda or the European Silver Barracuda, is depicted in the foreground, its elongated body and sharp teeth showcased in intricate detail. The Perch, or Common Perch, is illustrated in the background, its olive-green body and distinctive stripes adding depth and texture to the composition. The olive tree (Olea europaea), or the common olive tree, is subtly incorporated into the illustration, with its fruit, or olives, displayed in a small basket at the bottom right corner. This connection to the natural world was a common theme in Jussieu's work, reflecting the interconnectedness of various species and their environments. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840) was a renowned French botanical illustrator of the 19th century, known for his meticulous attention to detail and ability to bring the natural world to life through his artwork. The intricate stipple engraving technique used in this illustration further enhances its beauty and accuracy, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or botanical art.
