EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" showcases the intricate beauty of various crustaceans including Scampi, Nephrops norvegicus, shrimp, Macrobrachium carcinus, crayfish species, and mantis shrimp, Squilla mantis. Each creature is depicted with exquisite detail and vibrant colors that bring them to life on the page. Friedrich Johann Bertuch, a renowned German publisher and man of arts, curated this illustration as part of his 12-volume encyclopedia for children in the late 18th century. His dedication to capturing the wonders of natural history is evident in the meticulous rendering of these marine creatures. From the delicate antennae of the scampi to the powerful claws of the crayfish species, each animal is portrayed with precision and accuracy. The viewer can almost feel as though they are peering into an underwater world filled with diverse and fascinating inhabitants. This print serves as a reminder of both the artistic talent of Bertuch and the incredible diversity found in nature. It is a testament to our curiosity about the world around us and our desire to document and understand its many wonders.
