Turpin, Pierre Jean Francois

Gratiole [Gratiola, hedgehyssop]

F. P. Chaumeton, 1828-1832. Print. Item #275015
ISBN: 281AIB1054191

Print, 6 x 3.5 inches, on sheet 9.5 x 6 inches. Handcolored. After Redoute, Turpin was, in the words of Wilford Blunt, the last word on botanical illustrators, 'possibly the greatest of all the French botanical painters of his day.' This judgement is borne out by the delicate forms of these engravings, which were finely printed using the stipple engraving technique pioneered by Redoute. A near fine copy of this engraving.
