EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving is a beautiful representation of two intriguing marine mollusks: the Tortoise-shell Limpet, Cellana testudinaria, and the Pleated Limpet, Patella ferruginea. The illustration, drawn and engraved by Richard Polydore Nodder, was published in George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany in 1812. The Tortoise-shell Limpet, also known as the Tortoiseshell Scallop, is a medium-sized limpet that can be found on rocky shores in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean Seas. Its name derives from the distinctive tortoiseshell pattern on its back, which provides excellent camouflage against predators. The limpet feeds on algae and other organic matter attached to the rocks. The Pleated Limpet, also known as the Soldier Limpet or the Ferruginous Limpet, is a small, pleated limpet that can be found on the shores of the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. Its name comes from the pleats or folds on its mantle, which help it cling to rocks and hide from predators. The Pleated Limpet feeds on algae and other organic matter, as well as the mucus and secretions of other mollusks. These illustrations were part of a larger collection of over 1,000 animal, bird, insect, crustacean, fish, marine life, and microscopic creature illustrations published in The Naturalist's Miscellany between 1800 and 1840. The illustrations were drawn by George Shaw, Frederick Nodder, and Richard Nodder, and engraved and published by the Nodder family. Richard Nodder drew and engraved many of the copperplates until his death around 1800, and his son, also named Richard, continued the work. This illustration is a testament to the remarkable natural history art and science of the early 19th century.
