EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Olivia Fanny Tonge, circa 1910. The subject of this watercolor masterpiece is none other than the mesmerizing Flower Crab (Portunus pelagicus). With its vibrant blue hues and intricate details, this illustration brings to life the beauty and complexity of this marine creature. The Flower Crab, also known as the Blue Swimming Crab or Blue Manne Crab, belongs to the family Portunidae. Its mottled anatomy and distinctive shape make it a fascinating specimen for zoologists and biologists alike. As an arthropod belonging to the class Malacostraca, it falls under the broader category of crustaceans. The annotated features in this artwork provide valuable insights into the biology and anatomy of this decapod crustacean. From its swimming capabilities to its unique appendages, every detail has been meticulously captured by Tonge's skilled brushstrokes. Displayed by Natural History Museum in London through Science Photo Library, this print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific exploration. It allows us to appreciate not only nature's wonders but also highlights our ongoing fascination with wildlife from around the world.
