EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Science" captures the beauty and intricacy of the Breadfruit plant (Artocarpus altilis). Illustrated by Turpin, engraved by Corsi, and published in Florence, Italy in 1837, this botanical masterpiece is a testament to the skill and artistry of 19th-century French illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin.

Turpin's work as a botanical illustrator is celebrated for its accuracy and beauty, making him one of the most renowned artists of his time. His collaboration with Corsi on this piece showcases their mastery of engraving techniques and attention to detail.
