EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of eelgrass or seawrack, scientifically known as Zostera marina. The image, captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The illustration was meticulously drawn and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most esteemed French botanical illustrators of his time. Turpin's attention to detail brings out the delicate features and vibrant colors of this underwater plant. Eelgrass or seawrack is not only visually stunning but also holds great significance in botany and natural history. This edible vegetable plays an essential role in marine ecosystems as it provides shelter and food for various aquatic organisms. Its long blades sway gracefully with ocean currents, creating a mesmerizing sight beneath the waves. As we admire this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of nature's incredible diversity and its ability to inspire both scientific exploration and artistic expression. This print serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with plants and our desire to understand their place within our world.
