EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, in all its intricate detail. Created by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true work of art. The Sea lamprey is beautifully depicted with its elongated eel-like body and distinctive mouth. The image provides a close-up view of the lamprey's mouth, revealing its parasitic nature. With rows of sharp teeth and a suction cup-like structure, it is perfectly adapted for attaching itself to other fish and feeding on their blood. This unique adaptation has made the Sea lamprey both fascinating and feared. Published in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) in Florence, Italy in 1837, this illustration represents a significant contribution to botanical science at that time. The talented collaboration between Jean Gabriel Pretre as the artist and Mlle. Louvier as the engraver brings out every intricate detail with precision. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, renowned for his botanical illustrations during the 19th century, directed this masterpiece. His expertise shines through as he captures not only the scientific accuracy but also an artistic beauty that elevates this print into a realm of fine art. This stunning depiction reminds us of nature's diversity and complexity while showcasing one of its lesser-known creatures. It serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression from centuries past.
