EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Swimming Crab and Moon Crab" (Polibio di Henslowii and Matuta vittoriosa), is an exquisite example of the naturalistic illustrations found in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali" or "Dictionary of Natural Sciences," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Stanghi, drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre, and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). The image showcases two crab species, the Swimming Crab (Polibio di Henslowii) and the Moon Crab (Matuta vittoriosa). The Swimming Crab, also known as the Henslow's Swimming Crab, is depicted in the foreground, its long, spindly legs propelling it through the water. Its body is adorned with intricate, spiny patterns, while its pincers are held close to its chest. In the background, the Moon Crab (Matuta vittoriosa) is clinging to a coral outcropping. This crab is named for its crescent-shaped markings on its back, which resemble the shape of the moon. Its legs are shorter and more robust than those of the Swimming Crab, and it is armed with formidable pincers. The illustration also features a variety of other marine organisms, including several species of crabs, such as the Pattolo di Bosc, Falangio, and Mithrax, as well as a spider crab, a stenorhynchus, and a lanceolatus crab. The image is further adorned with anemones, sea fans, and other coral formations, creating a vibrant and intricate underwater scene. Turpin was a leading figure in the world of botanical illustration during the 19th century, and this engraving is a testament to his skill and artistry. The meticulous attention to detail and the lifelike representation of the subjects make this a truly remarkable work of natural history.
