"Pierre Jean François Turpin
(1775-1840) was possibly the greatest botanical genius of all the French
botanical painters of his day … In particular, his drawings of botanical details
have rarely been surpassed. ..." (Blunt). With Pierre-Antoine Poiteau he
collaborated in some of the most important botanical publications of the early
years of the nineteenth century. In the finely illustrated botanical part of the
Dictionnaire … the plates by several engravers were issued uncoloured or
coloured.* Pritzel 10.722; Blunt & Stearn p. 180 ff.; Nissen BBI 2239; Stafleu & Cowan 1293 + 15.384. |

Caricaceae - Carica papaya From: Histoire universelle du règne végétal, ou nouveau dictionnaire physique et économique de toutes les plantes qui croissent sur la surface du globe; … by Pierre Joseph Buchoz. Paris, Brunet, 1775-1780. Engraving with plant names (uncut sheet 260 x 420 mm). Text missing. € 95
This print is among 1200 plates from this most
extensive work, published from 1775-1780 by the extremely prolific author Pierre
Joseph Buchoz (1731-1807, also spelled as Buch’oz or Buc’hoz). He was a French
physician and naturalist who served as physician to the king of Poland. He left
his post to pursue his interest in natural history and published vast
illustrated folios on botany, books on mineralogy, agriculture, ornithology and
medicine. The attractive plates are mostly based on original drawings in the
Collection des Vélins of the Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris.
Artists’ names on the the copper-engravings seldom occur and as engraver Fessard
is sometimes mentioned.* Pritzel 1325; Dunthorne 59; Blunt & Stearn pp. 158-160; Nissen BBI 287; Stafleu & Cowan 876; Johnston 524. |
