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.
