EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 51 from Louis Renard's "Poissons, Ecrevisses et Crabes," Vol 2 (Fish, Crayfish, and Crabs), published in 1754, is an exquisite and colorful illustration showcasing the anatomy of five crustaceans: a blue crab, a spiky hermit crab, a fan crab, a decorative crab, and a lobster. This early work on fish, produced in France, is considered the earliest known color illustration of its kind. The illustration features the five crustaceans arranged on a naturalistic background, each one displayed in its unique and intricate beauty. The blue crab, with its distinctive blue claws and spiky pincers, is shown in a defensive posture, ready to protect itself. The hermit crab, with its patterned shell, is curled up in its protective home. The fan crab, with its fan-like appendages, is spread out in a display of defense. The decorative crab, with its ornate shell, is shown in a more relaxed pose. The lobster, the largest of the group, is depicted with its ten legs and powerful claws, one of which is raised in a defensive position. Louis Renard's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the illustration, which provides an accurate and detailed representation of the crustaceans' anatomy. The use of color adds to the overall effect, highlighting the intricate patterns and textures of the crustaceans' shells and bodies. Renard's work is an important contribution to the field of marine biology and is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the crustacean world.
