EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate skeleton of a Cuban hutia, Capromys pilorides. The image, created by Stanghi in the 19th century, is a copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The detailed illustration was engraved by Carini under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most esteemed French botanical illustrators of his time. Turpin's expertise shines through as he brings to life every bone and structure with remarkable precision. The Cuban hutia or Desmarests hutia is beautifully depicted here, providing valuable insight into its anatomy for scientific study and appreciation. As a mammal belonging to the rodent family, this species holds an important place in natural history. Florilegius has preserved this historical artwork that not only captures the beauty of nature but also serves as a testament to human curiosity about our world. This print offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at both artistic skill and scientific knowledge intertwined seamlessly on paper.
