EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts Poitea galegoides, also known as Poitea a foglie di Galega, Round-leaved Wintergreen, or Pyrola rotundifolia. The illustration is taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Sciences, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The intricately detailed engraving was drawn and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). Turpin is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century, known for his precise and accurate representations of plants. The Poitea galegoides is a small, round-leaved plant that belongs to the Pyrolaceae family. It is native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and is characterized by its evergreen, rosette-like leaves and white, bell-shaped flowers. The plant is also edible, with its fruit being used in traditional medicine and as a food source. The engraving showcases the Poitea galegoides in all its beauty, with its delicate leaves and vibrant white flowers. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of detail and depth to the illustration, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous work of Turpin and the scientific accuracy of Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Sciences. It provides a glimpse into the natural world of the past and showcases the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the diversity of plant life.
