EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Shi drum and Cingle," is an exquisite illustration from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali," or "Dictionary of Natural Sciences," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Cellai, drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre, and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. The image features two fish species commonly found in European waters: the Shi drum (species of the drum family, Pomatomus) and the Cingle, also known as the European stone loach or Zingel zingel (a species of the loach family, Zingelidae). The Shi drum is depicted with its distinctive elongated body and large, flat drumming organ on its tail, while the Cingle is shown with its characteristic brown spots and elongated snout. Accompanying the fish are several vegetation specimens, including the Albany bottlebrush (Callistemon speciosus), Metrosideros glauca, and Metrosideros glauca var. carinata. The Betula beta, or European beech tree, is also depicted in the background. Turpin is considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century, known for his meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the natural beauty of his subjects. This engraving is a testament to his skill and the impressive scientific knowledge of the time. The intricate stipple engraving technique used in this illustration allows for a high level of detail and texture, making it a valuable addition to any botanical or historical collection.
