EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of an aardvark and giant armadillo, created by Corsi in the 19th century. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The artwork beautifully captures the intricate details of these fascinating creatures. The aardvark, scientifically known as Orycteropus afer, stands elegantly beside the giant armadillo, Priodontes maximus. Also referred to as "Oritteropo del Capo di Buona Speranza" and "Priodonte gigante" these animals symbolize both vulnerability and strength. Jean Gabriel Pretre skillfully drew this masterpiece under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most esteemed French botanical illustrators of his time. Their collaboration resulted in an illustration that perfectly depicts the essence and characteristics of these mammals. Florilegius has preserved this remarkable piece from history through their meticulous reproduction process. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also serves as a valuable resource for scientific study. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when naturalists like Antoine Laurent de Jussieu dedicated their lives to unraveling nature's mysteries. It reminds us how crucial it is to protect our planet's diverse wildlife species for future generations to marvel at their beauty and significance within our ecosystem.
