EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Goose Barnacles and Related Species," is a stunning illustration from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and engraved by Corsi, under the supervision of the renowned French botanical illustrator, Pierre Jean Francois Turpin (1775-1840). The illustration showcases various species of goose barnacles, including Alepas species 1 and 2, Pentalepas laevis, Pollicipes, and the goose neck barnacle, Pollicipes pollicipes. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring these fascinating marine organisms to life, revealing their unique structures and textures. Goose barnacles, also known as "tolumnias," are not true barnacles but rather edible, vegetable, and fruit-bearing organisms. They are attached to rocks or other hard surfaces by a stalk, and their elongated, neck-like structures are used to filter feed. The illustration also includes an extinct species, Litholepas, which further highlights the importance of historical records in documenting the natural world. Turpin is considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century, and this illustration is a testament to his skill and dedication. The use of stipple engraving, a technique that involves the application of small dots to create shading and texture, adds depth and dimension to the illustration. Overall, this beautiful and intricate work of art is a valuable contribution to the history of botany and natural science.
