EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 55 from the captivating collection of watercolour drawings of Hawaiian fishes and invertebrates, created by the talented E. Gertrude Norrie around the turn of the 20th century. This exquisite artwork features the Parribacus antarcticus, commonly known as the slipper lobster or the reef lobster. Belonging to the family Scyllaridae and the order Decapoda, this crustacean is characterized by its unique, flattened, slipper-shaped feet, which it uses to camouflage itself on the ocean floor. The Parribacus antarcticus is a nocturnal creature, spending its days hidden beneath rocks and rubble, and emerging at night to feed on various invertebrates. This crustacean is found in both the North and South Pacific Oceans, and is an essential component of the marine ecosystem. E. Gertrude Norrie's meticulous attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects is evident in this stunning watercolour. The artist's delicate brushstrokes bring out the intricate patterns on the lobster's body, while the vibrant colours and shading create a sense of depth and texture. Norrie's work is a testament to the rich biodiversity of Hawaiian waters and the importance of documenting the natural world. Her contributions to zoological illustration during the early 1900s paved the way for future generations of naturalists and artists to explore and appreciate the wonders of the ocean. This beautiful watercolour is a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world and the importance of preserving it for future generations. E. Gertrude Norrie's artwork continues to inspire and captivate us with its intricate details and stunning visuals.
