EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Mud Lobster and Mud Shrimp," is an illustration from 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 Corsi, with drawings by Jean Gabriel Pretre and direction by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. The image features two marine invertebrates: the Mud Lobster (Thalassina anomala) and the Mud Shrimp (Upogebia stellata). The Mud Lobster, also known as the Mud Snake Lobster or File Snake, is depicted in the upper left corner of the image. It is characterized by its elongated body, which resembles a snake, and its warty appearance. The Mud Shrimp, or Warty Mud Shrimp, is shown in the lower right corner. It is a small, shrimp-like creature with a granulose exoskeleton and distinctive stripes. Turpin, the director of the project, was a renowned French botanical illustrator of the 19th century. His expertise in the field of botanical illustration is well-documented, but his work in the realm of herpetology, as evidenced in this illustration, is also noteworthy. The intricate detail and accuracy of the engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the team behind it. This beautiful illustration provides a glimpse into the natural world of the past, showcasing the intricacies of these two fascinating marine creatures. It is a reminder of the importance of documentation and preservation of natural history, and the role that illustrations play in advancing scientific knowledge.
