EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Mayapple, Podophyllum peltatum, also known as the May apple, American mandrake, wild mandrake, and ground lemon. The illustration is taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The Mayapple is a native plant of eastern North America, and is characterized by its large, umbrella-shaped, green leaves and unique, edible fruit. The fruit resembles an apple, but is actually a single, large, heart-shaped spathe that surrounds a small, red berry. The plant is also notable for its association with algae and Characeae, which can be seen growing in the water at the base of the plant in this illustration. The Mayapple was illustrated by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). Turpin is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century, known for his meticulous attention to detail and beautiful use of colour. The engraving was drawn and directed by Turpin, and published by Batelli e Figli. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the Mayapple, and is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world. The use of handcolouring and the copperplate stipple engraving technique adds to the detail and depth of the image, making it a valuable addition to any botanical or historical collection.
