EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Eastern Atlantic Arrow Crab, Stenorhynchus lanceolatus, also known as Bosc's Pactolus or Pactolus boscii. The crab is native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and is characterized by its long, slender pincers, which are used for both defense and capture of prey. The intricate details of the crab's body and legs are beautifully rendered in this engraving, which was drawn and engraved by the skilled hand of Richard Polydore Nodder for William Elford Leach's Zoological Miscellany, published in London in 1815. The Eastern Atlantic Arrow Crab is a valuable addition to any collection of marine life illustrations, and this stunning engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time. The delicate use of color further enhances the visual appeal of this fascinating crustacean, making it a must-have for any natural history enthusiast or scholar.
