EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Sandbox Tree, Hura crepitans, a unique and intriguing specimen of the natural world. The illustration is taken from Antoine Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The engraving was expertly executed by Corsi, with the drawing and direction provided 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 exceptional artistic skill. His illustrations were renowned for their accuracy and beauty, making them invaluable resources for scientific research and documentation. The Sandbox Tree, also known as the Custard Apple Tree, is native to Central and South America. Its common name derives from the sandy, box-like substance that covers the fruit, which resembles a sandbox. The tree is characterized by its large, glossy leaves and spiny, thorny branches. The fruit of the Sandbox Tree is a popular source of food and is rich in vitamin C. This exquisite engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the natural world as it was documented and understood during the 19th century. The intricate details of the Sandbox Tree's leaves, branches, and fruit are beautifully rendered, making this a true masterpiece of botanical illustration.
