EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Gouty Lissa Crab, Lissa chiragra, a fascinating marine crustacean native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by the skilled hand of Richard Polydore Nodder, and published in William Elford Leach's Zoological Miscellany in 1815. The Gouty Lissa Crab is named for its distinctive swollen claws, which are covered in small, raised bumps, giving them a gouty appearance. These crabs are typically small in size, measuring only about 2 inches in length. They are known to inhabit rocky shores and coral reefs, where they use their powerful claws to crush and crush their prey, which includes mollusks and other crustaceans. The intricate details of this engraving highlight the unique features of the Gouty Lissa Crab, from the delicate patterns on its carapace to the individual hairs on its legs. The use of hand-coloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a beautiful and accurate representation of this intriguing marine creature. William Elford Leach was a renowned English naturalist and zoologist, who made significant contributions to the scientific study of marine invertebrates. His Zoological Miscellany was a collection of illustrations and descriptions of various species, and was an important work in the field of natural history during the early 19th century. This engraving, drawn and engraved by Richard Polydore Nodder, is a testament to the high-quality and accuracy of the work produced during this period of scientific discovery and exploration.
