EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of three fascinating marine creatures - the Clubhook squid, European squid, and cuttlefish. Captured by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece. The image depicts the Common clubhook squid (Onychoteuthis banksii), European squid (Loligo vulgaris), and cuttlefish (Sepia species) in intricate detail. Each creature is meticulously drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most renowned French botanical illustrators of his time. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this illustration offers a glimpse into the world of natural history. The delicate strokes and vibrant colors bring these underwater wonders to life. The Clubhook squid with its distinctive hooked tentacles, alongside its counterparts - the European squid and cuttlefish - create an enchanting composition that captivates both art enthusiasts and science lovers alike. This print not only celebrates their aesthetic appeal but also highlights their significance as edible marine delicacies.
