EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the intricate beauty of the Portly Spider Crab or Notched Libinia, scientifically known as Libinia emarginata. Drawn and engraved by the skilled hand of Richard Polydore Nodder, this illustration was published in William Elford Leach's Zoological Miscellany in 1815. The Portly Spider Crab is a unique crustacean, characterized by its long, slender legs, which resemble spider legs, and its notched or serrated edge on the sides of its carapace. This crab is a marine creature, inhabiting the shallow waters of the Atlantic Ocean, from the English Channel to the Mediterranean Sea. The Portly Spider Crab is a fascinating creature, not only for its appearance but also for its behavior. It is known to bury itself in the sand during the day, only emerging at night to feed on mollusks and other invertebrates. Its long legs enable it to move quickly across the sandy seafloor, making it an efficient hunter. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the 19th century naturalists and illustrators. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Portly Spider Crab to life and allowing us to appreciate its intricate features up close. This engraving is not only a scientific document but also a work of art, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
