EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Sea mouse, Aphrodita aculeata 1 and Laetmonice hystrix 2, captured by Carini in the 19th century. The intricate handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The sea mouse, also known as Aphrodita aculeata, and its companion Laetmonice hystrix are beautifully depicted in this illustration. Their unique features and vibrant colors come to life through the skilled artistry of Jean Gabriel Pretre and Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's direction. Turpin himself is celebrated as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. This stunning piece captures not only the beauty but also the scientific significance of these marine creatures. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with natural history and our desire to understand and appreciate the wonders that lie beneath the ocean's surface.
