EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the True Sago Palm, Metroxylon sagu, in all its natural splendor. Captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a testament to the exquisite beauty of botanical illustration. The True Sago Palm is renowned for its fruit, which holds great significance both botanically and culinarily. Also known as Sagus rumphii or Sagus farinifera, it produces seeds that are transformed into sago del rumfio - a staple food source with rich historical roots. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this illustration was engraved by Corsi under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin himself is celebrated as one of the most talented French botanical illustrators from that era. Every detail has been meticulously captured on this print - from the intricate patterns on the palm leaves to the vibrant hues adorning each element. It serves as a reminder not only of nature's breathtaking artistry but also of humanity's deep connection with plants and their edible offerings. This Fine Art Finder print allows us to appreciate and admire this remarkable specimen from centuries past. Its presence adds an air of elegance and sophistication to any space while celebrating both scientific exploration and artistic expression.
