EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures the beauty and intricacy of two fascinating aquatic species - the Atlantic saury (Scomberesox saurus) and the Nile bichir (Polypterus bichir). The delicate details in this artwork, created by J.G. Pretre and engraved by Nargeot under the direction of Turpin, showcase the unique characteristics of these fish with precision.
The Atlantic saury, also known as scombresoce camperien, is a slender and elongated fish found in the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Its streamlined body and sharp beak-like mouth are depicted with exquisite accuracy in this print. In contrast, the Nile bichir is a primitive freshwater fish native to Africa with distinctive armor-like scales and a long dorsal fin running along its back.
This illustration is part of Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences," edited by Hippolyte Cloquet, a renowned natural historian and doctor of medicine. Published between 1816-1830, this comprehensive work provided valuable insights into various aspects of natural history.
Whether you are a marine enthusiast or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print offers a glimpse into the diverse world of aquatic life. The vibrant colors used to bring these creatures to life on paper make them appear almost lifelike, inviting viewers to marvel at their intricate design and beauty for years to come.
