EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 19th century showcases two intriguing crab species, the Horrid elbow crab and an unknown crab. The detailed handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving brings these marine creatures to life, offering a glimpse into the world of natural science during that era. The Horrid elbow crab, scientifically known as Daldorfia horrida, is depicted in all its peculiar glory. Its name aptly describes its appearance with its menacing-looking elbows and rugged exterior. This fascinating crustacean stands out against the backdrop of intricate coral formations. Beside it is another mysterious crab species identified as Eurynome rugosa. With its unique features and unexplored identity, this enigmatic creature adds an air of intrigue to the composition. The artist's attention to detail allows us to marvel at every intricacy of their anatomy. Created by renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin under the direction of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, this illustration exemplifies scientific accuracy combined with artistic finesse. Published in Florence in 1837, it was part of a comprehensive dictionary on natural science. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness nature's wonders through the eyes of those who dedicated their lives to studying and documenting it. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, our fascination with Earth's diverse flora and fauna remains unwavering.
