EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Damselfish and Climbing Perch" or "Rondine di Mare and Anaba Arrampicatore," is an exquisite illustration taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali," or "Dictionary of Natural Sciences," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Corsi, with drawings by Jean Gabriel Pretre and direction by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. The image features two distinct marine species: the Damselfish, scientifically known as Chromis chromis, and the Climbing Perch, Anabas testudineus. The Damselfish, also referred to as the Forkbeard, Phycis barbu, Fivebeard, Rockling, Mustele commune, or Mustela ciliata, is a small, colorful fish with a distinctive striped pattern. The Climbing Perch, also known as the Common Climbing Perch or Mustela mustela, is a unique fish species that can climb out of the water and live on land for extended periods. Turpin, the director of this magnificent work, is considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century. His meticulous attention to detail and dedication to scientific accuracy are evident in this stunning illustration. The intricate stipple engraving technique used to create the image adds depth and texture, making the Damselfish and Climbing Perch appear lifelike and vibrant. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the marine world, as documented by some of the most skilled artists and scientists of the time. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of these two fascinating fish species and the remarkable techniques used to capture their essence in art.
