EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the European Edible Sea Urchin, Echinus esculentus, also known as the Common Sea Urchin. The illustration was created in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Sciences, published in Florence, Italy. The illustration was drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). The European Edible Sea Urchin is a marine invertebrate that is commonly found in the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas. It is characterized by its round, spiky shell, which protects its internal organs. The sea urchin's heart, located in the center of the image, is surrounded by its five pairs of tube feet, which help it move along the ocean floor. The sea urchin's coloration varies, with the specimen shown here displaying a reddish-purple hue, also known as the Spatangus purpureus or Paonazzo variety. The engraving technique used to create this image, known as stipple engraving, involved the use of a sharp tool to dot the surface of a copper plate with tiny dots of varying sizes and densities. The plate was then inked and pressed onto paper, resulting in a highly detailed and textured image. Turpin was considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century, and his work continues to be admired for its precision and beauty.
