EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Giant Cabomba, also known as Cabomba aquatica, a stunning aquatic plant found in South America. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving was created by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most esteemed French botanical illustrators of the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this botanical illustration to life, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of nature. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science, this artwork exemplifies scientific exploration during that era.
