EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cormorant, Cornelian cherry and scorpion vetch" showcases the intricate beauty of nature in the 19th century. Created by Auguste Dumenil, a talented French engraver active during the mid-1800s, this print is part of a private collection. The image features four distinct elements: a Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), also known as a crested cormorant; a Cornelian cherry tree (Cornus mas); scorpion vetch (Coronilla valentina), an elegant flowering plant; and an amphipod crustacean called Corophium volutator. Each element has been meticulously handcoloured to bring out its unique characteristics. Dumenil's work was included in Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's renowned "Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle" (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History) published between 1834 and 1839 in Paris. This publication aimed to provide readers with comprehensive knowledge about various aspects of natural history. Through this enchanting engraving, we are transported back to the early days of scientific exploration when zoologists and botanists diligently studied wildlife animals and plants. The attention to detail displayed by Dumenil highlights his skill as an engraver while also showcasing the wonders of nature itself. This artwork serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans were fascinated by the intricacies found within our natural world. It invites us to appreciate both the aesthetic beauty and scientific significance captured within this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection.
