EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two fascinating crustaceans - the Squat lobster, Galathea strigosa 1, and Aegla laevis 2. Taken by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece that captures the intricate details of these marine creatures. The image comes from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), published in Florence, Italy in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Stanghi under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. The Squat lobster, with its delicate limbs and vibrant colors, stands out against its surroundings. Its scientific name Galathea strigosa highlights its unique characteristics while Aegla laevis adds to the diversity portrayed in this artwork. Jean Gabriel Pretre's skillful drawing brings these creatures to life on paper. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also contributes to our understanding of natural history and marine science. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for us to admire today. It reminds us of nature's endless wonders and encourages us to appreciate the intricacies found within our oceans' depths.
