EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating world of crustaceans, specifically featuring the warty crab and flat rock crab. The image, taken by Corsi in the 19th century, beautifully captures the intricate details of these marine creatures. The warty crab, also known as the yellow crab or Eriphia verrucosa, takes center stage with its striking appearance. Its body is covered in small bumps or warts that give it a unique texture and charm. Alongside it is the flat rock crab, scientifically named Percnon planissimum. This species boasts a smooth shell and an intriguing shape that perfectly complements its surroundings. Handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving brings this artwork to life with vibrant hues meticulously applied by Jean Gabriel Prêtre. Published in Florence in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science, this illustration exemplifies Pierre Jean-François Turpin's exceptional talent as one of France's greatest botanical illustrators during the 19th century. As we delve into this mesmerizing depiction of nature's wonders, we are reminded of our planet's rich biodiversity and how every creature plays a vital role within their ecosystems. This print serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression, capturing not only the beauty but also fostering appreciation for these remarkable crustaceans found beneath our oceans' depths.
