EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Palm Springs Daisy, Cladanthus arabicus, a stunning and rare plant native to the desert regions of North America. The illustration is taken from Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The work was produced by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840), who is considered one of the greatest botanical artists of the 19th century. Turpin's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this beautiful representation of the Palm Springs Daisy. The intricate stipple engraving technique, executed by the skilled engraver Calendi, brings out the delicate textures and patterns of the plant's leaves and petals. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. The Palm Springs Daisy is a small, succulent plant that thrives in the harsh desert environment. Its white or pink flowers bloom in the spring, adding a splash of color to the otherwise barren landscape. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural beauty of the desert and the remarkable botanical discoveries being made during the 19th century. Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science was a groundbreaking publication that showcased the latest scientific discoveries in the field of botany. The work was published in Florence, Italy, during a time when Europe was experiencing a renewed interest in the natural world. The publication of such high-quality botanical illustrations helped to advance scientific knowledge and appreciation for the natural world. This beautiful and historically significant illustration is a testament to the skill and artistry of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and the importance of scientific exploration and documentation during the 19th century.
