EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Mantis shrimp, specifically the Lysiosquilla scabricauda species. The image captures both its dorsal and ventral views, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable creature. Originally published in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece. The talented artist Jean Gabriel Pretre skillfully drew the illustration under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most esteemed French botanical illustrators during the 19th century. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to anatomical accuracy make this artwork truly stand out. It serves as a testament to both scientific precision and artistic talent. Mantis shrimps are known for their incredible hunting abilities and striking appearance. With their powerful claws that can strike with lightning speed, they are considered one of nature's fiercest predators in marine environments.
