EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali or Dictionary of Natural Sciences published in Florence, Italy, in 1837, showcases the intricate details of Neptune grass, also known as Posidonia oceanica or Mediterranean tapeweed. The illustration, drawn and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840), is a testament to the meticulous artistry of the time. Neptune grass is a unique and essential marine plant species native to the Mediterranean Sea. It forms extensive underwater meadows that provide vital habitat for various marine organisms, including common octopus (Octopus vulgaris), common squid (Loligo cranchii), musky octopus (Eledone moschata), European flying squid (Todarodes sagittatus), glass squid (Cranchia scabra), and common squid (Sepiola di Cranch). Turpin's illustration captures the delicate beauty of the Neptune grass, with its thin, ribbon-like leaves and intricate network of rhizomes. The engraving also highlights the various marine organisms that inhabit these underwater meadows, adding to the overall richness and complexity of the image. The use of the copperplate stipple engraving technique adds an extra layer of detail and texture to the illustration, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. Turpin's expertise and dedication to capturing the natural world are evident in this stunning representation of Neptune grass and its associated marine life.
