EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, published in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Sciences) in Florence, Italy, in 1837, showcases three distinct jellyfish species: Favonia octonema (1), Lymnorea triedra (2), and Cyanea labiche (3). The intricately detailed illustration was drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, a renowned French botanical illustrator of the 19th century. The first jellyfish, Favonia octonema, is depicted with a bell-shaped body adorned with eight long, trailing tentacles. The second species, Lymnorea triedra, exhibits a more complex structure, with a cauliflower-like bell and a long, slender, and twisted stalk. The third jellyfish, Cyanea labiche, is a stinging jellyfish, easily identifiable by its large, bell-shaped body and numerous, short, and delicate tentacles. Turpin's masterful illustration also includes an octopus (Rhizostoma di Cuvier) in the lower right corner, adding an interesting contrast to the jellyfish. The octopus, with its eight arms and two long, retractable feeding tentacles, is a common predator of jellyfish. This stunning work of art is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that characterized Turpin's illustrations. The intricate stipple engraving technique used to create the image adds depth and texture, making it a true masterpiece of natural history art.
