EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Helix Snails, 1863-79" takes us back to the late 19th century when scientific exploration was at its peak. Created by Raimundo Petraroja, a prominent figure in zoology during that time, this colour lithograph showcases his meticulous attention to detail and passion for capturing the beauty of nature. Part of the renowned work "Popular Zoological Atlas" published between 1863 and 1879 by Giovanni Boschi, this print offers a glimpse into the world of gastropods. The Helix snails depicted here are delicately illustrated with their distinctive spiral shells and soft bodies. Their presence on the page evokes curiosity about these fascinating creatures. Petraroja's artwork not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also contributes to our understanding of molluscs and their intricate anatomy. The precision with which he portrays each snail highlights his dedication to scientific accuracy. This particular print is part of a private collection now made accessible through ePurix Verlag Volker Christen. It reminds us of the importance of preserving historical works that have shaped our knowledge today. As we admire this exquisite illustration, let us appreciate both Petraroja's artistic talent and his contribution to zoological research. Through his artistry, he invites us into a world where science meets art in perfect harmony - a testament to human curiosity and creativity across centuries.
