EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Coffee, Coffea arabica, Caffe d Arabia" takes us back to the 19th century when coffee was not just a beverage but an exotic marvel. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving showcases the intricate beauty of the Coffea arabica plant, also known as Arabian coffee. The illustration is part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. It was expertly engraved by Gransi under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, a celebrated French botanical illustrator. Turpin's attention to detail and artistic prowess shine through in this piece. Every leaf and branch are meticulously depicted with vibrant colors that bring life to the image. The delicate coffee beans hanging from its branches add a touch of elegance and remind us of their significance as one of nature's most cherished gifts. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with botany and natural history during that era. It captures both scientific curiosity and appreciation for edible plants like Coffea arabica. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it transports us into a world where coffee was still an enigma waiting to be discovered by those fortunate enough to taste its rich flavors.
