EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures the beauty and detail of four different species of sharks: the Porbeagle, Lamna nasus, Lamie nose, and spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias, Scymnus spinosos. Each shark is meticulously depicted with intricate patterns and textures that bring them to life on paper.
Created for Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences" between 1816-1830, this print showcases the expertise of natural historian Hippolyte Cloquet and the talented illustrator J.G. Pretre. The engraving was carefully executed by Louviers under the direction of Turpin before being published by F. G. Levrault.
The Porbeagle, known for its streamlined body and powerful jaws, swims gracefully alongside the Lamie nose with its distinctive elongated snout. Meanwhile, the spiny dogfish adds a touch of fierceness to the composition with its sharp dorsal fins.
As we admire this exquisite artwork, we are reminded of the diversity and wonder of marine life that inhabits our oceans. These sharks play a vital role in maintaining ecosystem balance and deserve our respect and protection.
Whether you are a marine enthusiast or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and inspire awe for these magnificent creatures beneath the waves.
