EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the intricately detailed features of a Mantis Shrimp, scientifically known as Squilla mantis (previously identified as Cancer macrourus). The image is an exquisite example from Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae, a series of zoological illustrations published by Blusse and Son in Nuremberg in 1771. The specimen shown in this print was once part of the Wunderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosities owned by Dr. Christoph Jacob Trew. The Mantis Shrimp, also known as the Squilla terrestre, is a remarkable marine crustacean renowned for its unique physical attributes. With its elongated, spindly legs and menacing pincers, this creature is a formidable sight. Its coloration ranges from bright blue to red and orange, making it a captivating addition to any natural history collection. The Mantis Shrimp's most notable feature is its complex eyes, which are among the most sophisticated in the animal kingdom. These eyes contain 16 photoreceptors, enabling the shrimp to detect a broader range of colors and polarized light than humans. This ability allows the Mantis Shrimp to locate prey and navigate its underwater environment with remarkable precision. This intricately detailed engraving, with its vibrant hand-coloring, offers a glimpse into the natural world of the 18th century, showcasing the beauty and wonder of the Mantis Shrimp in all its splendor. As a testament to the skill and artistry of Georg Wolfgang Knorr and the natural history collectors of the time, this image remains an invaluable contribution to the field of zoological illustration.
