EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of Mexican cotton, also known as Gossypium hirsutum. The image, captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieus' Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published by Batelli e Figli and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, this illustration represents the remarkable talent of one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this important plant species that has played a significant role in history. With its scientific name encompassing variations such as Gossypium tricuspidatum and Gossypium religiosum, Mexican cotton has been cultivated for centuries for its versatile uses. Not only does it produce soft fibers used in textile production, but it also bears edible fruits. This makes Mexican cotton not just an essential resource for clothing manufacturing but also a valuable food source. Its significance extends beyond mere aesthetics or practicality; it holds cultural and historical importance as well. As we admire this stunning botanical illustration, let us appreciate the wonders of nature's creations and acknowledge the skillful artistry that brings them to life on paper. This print serves as a reminder of our connection with plants and their profound impact on various aspects of human existence throughout time.
