EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Aegean wallflower, Erysimum cheiri. The illustration is taken from Antoine Jussieu's comprehensive Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The meticulous engraving was executed by Cellai under the expert direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin (1775-1840) is renowned as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century. His exceptional talent for capturing the intricate details of plants was unparalleled, making his work a valuable addition to the annals of botanical art. The Aegean wallflower, native to the Mediterranean region, is a charming perennial herb with vibrant yellow flowers. In this stunning engraving, the delicate petals, intricate veining, and textured leaves are rendered with remarkable precision and artistry. The hand-coloring further enhances the image, bringing the flower to life with rich hues and vibrant tones. This illustration is a testament to the dedication and skill of Turpin and his team, who painstakingly documented the natural world for future generations to appreciate. The Dictionary of Natural Science, with its high-quality engravings, was a significant contribution to the field of botany and remains an invaluable resource today.
