EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the False Fiddleleaf, Hydrolea spinosa, a captivating aquatic plant native to Europe and Asia. The illustration, created by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840), was published in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Sciences, in Florence, Italy, in 1837. Turpin, considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century, meticulously captured the intricate details of the False Fiddleleaf's unique features. The plant is named for its whorled arrangement of leaves, reminiscent of the shape of a violin scroll, hence the common name "fiddleleaf." However, it is important to note that this plant is not related to the Fiddleleaf Fig (Ficus lyrata) and belongs to the Myriophyllum or Watermilfoil family. The False Fiddleleaf's leaves, as shown in this exquisite engraving, are whorled verticillately, meaning they grow in a circular arrangement around the stem. The leaves themselves are slender, elongated, and have a distinctive midrib, adding to their intriguing appearance. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the artistry and dedication of Turpin and Jussieu, who sought to document the natural world with precision and elegance. The Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali was a groundbreaking work that showcased the latest scientific discoveries of the time, and this engraving of the False Fiddleleaf remains a captivating example of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
