EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving depicts a majestic Swordfish, Xiphias gladius, a large and powerful fish species found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The intricate detail in this illustration, taken from Jussieu's Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles published between 1816 and 1830, is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The engraving, directed by Turpin and engraved by Massard, captures the distinctive features of the Swordfish with remarkable accuracy. The long, slender body, the large, piercing eyes, and the elongated, sharp bill, or "sword," are all beautifully rendered. The intricate scales on the body and the delicate gill structures are also exquisitely detailed. The Swordfish, a highly migratory species, is known for its impressive size, with some individuals reaching lengths of over 12 feet and weights of up to 1,500 pounds. It is a popular game fish and is also valued for its meat, which is considered a delicacy in many parts of the world. This exquisite illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of the Swordfish, offering a window into the scientific knowledge of the past. Its intricate detail and beautiful coloration make it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history prints.
