The image was drawn and engraved by the skilled hand of Richard Polydore Nodder, and published in William Elford Leach's Zoological Miscellany in 1815. The Rissos Doclea crab, also known as the Rissos squat lobster or the red crab, is a deep-sea crab native to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

The crab's coloration ranges from red to brown, with distinctive white spots and stripes. This exquisite illustration captures the crab's intricate details, from its spiny legs to its delicate gills. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing out the crab's unique features and making it a true work of art. William Elford Leach was a prominent British naturalist and zoologist, and his Zoological Miscellany was a significant publication in the field of natural history.
