EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving is a captivating representation of various medicinal leech species, showcasing the European medicinal leech (Hirudo medicinalis), Hirudo verbana, Erpobdella octoculata, Mignatta, Latrobdella medicinalis var. viridis, Latrobdella tessellata, Latrobdella provincialis, Latrobdella verbana, Erpobdella vulgaris, and Erpobdella alomaria. The illustration, drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, is a masterpiece from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. Turpin, a renowned French botanical illustrator of the 19th century, expertly captured the intricate details of these leech species, which have long been used in traditional medicine. The European medicinal leech, for instance, was employed for therapeutic bloodletting due to its ability to induce bleeding without causing damage to the blood vessels. The engraving features a diverse range of leech species, including the common black leech (Hirudo verbana), horse leech (Hirudo hippobdella), and the Nile leech (Microphallus nigricollis). Some of the other depicted species belong to the Pseudobdellida order, such as the Sanguisorba leech (Sanguisorba sanguisorba), the Bdellidae family, including the Nile limnatis leech (Limnatis nilotica), and the Corsiidae family, represented by the Erpobdella corsi leech. This illustration not only showcases the beauty and diversity of these fascinating creatures but also highlights their historical significance in the field of medicine. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant hand-coloring make this engraving an exquisite addition to any collection of natural history or medical art.
