EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Drooping Sheoak, Allocasuarina verticillata, a native tree of Australia. The tree is also known by various other names, including Casuarina quadrivalvis and Casuarina a quatre valves. The Drooping Sheoak is a nitrogen-fixing tree, making it an essential component of the Australian ecosystem. The illustration was created in 1837 for Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy. The illustration was drawn and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840), who is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century. The engraving beautifully captures the unique features of the Drooping Sheoak, including its drooping branches and the papaya-like fruits that grow in clusters. The tree's scientific name, Allocasuarina verticillata, refers to the arrangement of its leaves in whorls, which are reminiscent of the branches of a candelabra. The Drooping Sheoak has historically been used for various purposes, including as a source of food. The fruits, which are sometimes called papaws or pawpaws, are edible and can be consumed raw or cooked. The tree's wood has also been used for making tools, fuel, and even musical instruments. This stunning illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of the Drooping Sheoak and showcases the exceptional talent of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin as a botanical illustrator.
