EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of three different species of crabs. In the foreground, we have the bristly crab, Pilumnus hirtellus 1, with its distinctive hairy appearance that gives it a unique charm. Behind it stands the light-blue soldier crab, Mictyris longicarpus 2, adorned in a mesmerizing shade of blue that effortlessly catches the eye. Lastly, nestled between them is the pea crab, Pinnotheres pisum 3, a tiny creature with delicate features. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali takes us back to Florence in 1837 when this remarkable illustration was first published. The talented artist Jean Gabriel Pretre skillfully captured every detail under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin himself is hailed as one of France's greatest botanical illustrators during the 19th century. As we delve into this stunning artwork by Corsi and published by Batelli e Figli through Florilegius' lens, we are transported into a world where science and art intertwine seamlessly. This image not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also provides valuable insights into marine life and natural history. Let this enchanting composition remind us of nature's boundless wonders and inspire our curiosity about these fascinating crustaceans that inhabit our oceans.
