EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of fossils belonging to extinct ammonite species. The intricate handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, created by Corsi in the 19th century, brings these ancient creatures back to life. The fossils depicted include Ammonite interrotta, di Brongniart, massiccia, di Deslongchamps, and di Gerville. Ammonites were marine mollusks that lived millions of years ago during the time of dinosaurs. Their spiral-shaped shells made them excellent swimmers and allowed them to navigate through prehistoric oceans with ease. These fascinating creatures became extinct around 65 million years ago but have left behind an incredible fossil record for us to explore. The illustration featured in this print is from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali" (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. It was engraved by Corsi and drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre under the supervision of Batelli e Figli. This image not only captures the beauty and intricacy of these long-extinct ammonites but also serves as a testament to our fascination with natural history and scientific exploration. It reminds us of the rich diversity that once thrived on our planet and encourages us to continue unraveling its mysteries through art and science alike.
