EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fossil of three extinct demosponges: Verticillites 1, Rubula soldanii 2, and Nubecularia lucifuga 3. The intricate handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving was created by Corsi in the 19th century as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). The fossils are beautifully depicted with great attention to detail, highlighting their unique structures and textures. Verticillites 1 is characterized by its delicate whorls, while Rubula soldanii 2 exhibits an intriguing pattern reminiscent of coral formations. Nubecularia lucifuga 3 stands out with its ethereal appearance, seemingly glowing against the dark background. Drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, this illustration is a testament to their exceptional talent as botanical illustrators. Turpin himself is hailed as one of the greatest French botanical artists of the 19th century. Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, this engraving offers a glimpse into the world of natural history and scientific exploration during that era. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike who seek to understand the diversity and evolution of ancient marine life. With its rich historical significance and artistic beauty, this print truly captures the essence of these fascinating extinct demosponges while paying homage to the remarkable talents behind its creation.
