EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of three unique crab species: the Coral clinging crab, arrow crab, and Leachs spider crab. The intricate details of these crustaceans are brought to life through a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from the 19th century. In this remarkable artwork, created by renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, we witness the delicate features and vibrant colors that make each crab species distinct. The Coral clinging crab, scientifically known as Mithrax hispidus, is depicted with its spiny margin while the arrow crab (Stenorhynchus lanceolatus) stands out with its slender body shape. Lastly, we encounter Leachs spider crab (Inachus phalangium), which exhibits fascinating patterns on its exoskeleton. Published in Florence in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science, this illustration serves as a testament to Turpin's artistic talent and attention to detail. His collaboration with engraver Stanghi and artist Jean Gabriel Pretre has resulted in an exquisite portrayal of these marine creatures. As we delve into this image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the vast diversity found within our natural world. These crabs symbolize resilience and adaptability while showcasing nature's endless wonders beneath the ocean's surface.
