"Unveiling the Horrid World: From Decapoda Crabs to Martyrdom and Massacres" Step into a world where horrid creatures lurk beneath the ocean's surface, like the menacing Decapoda crabs and shrimps. Hans Baldung's haunting artwork depicting the Martyrdom of St. Lawrence in 1505 sends chills down your spine as you witness his gruesome fate. But horrors are not limited to ancient times; even artists' lives can be plagued by troubles, as seen in "The Troubles of an Artist's Wife, " an engraving that reveals the challenges faced by those who dare to love creative souls. History unfolds with shocking accounts such as "A Particular Account of the Most Barbarous and Horrid Massacre. " The lithograph from 1770 transports us back to King Street, Boston, where soldiers committed unspeakable acts against innocent civilians. Escape into thrilling adventures through engravings like "A Tale of a Famous Panther Hunt. " However, don't let your guard down for too long – danger is always lurking around every corner. Even everyday experiences can turn horrid when illness strikes. A postcard design warns us that catching a cold is indeed a horrid thing to endure. Take heed. Nature itself holds its share of terrors; take Yellow Mombin or Hog Plum (Spondias monbin), for example. Its seemingly harmless appearance hides its true nature – one must approach with caution. Venturing further into this dark realm reveals more chilling creatures: Rubble crab or Horrid Parthenope (Parthenope horrida), Horrid Alecto (Alecto horrida - nomen dubium), and even the dreaded Horrid Elbow Crab (Daldorfia horrida). These names alone send shivers down our spines. Yet amidst all these horrors, there are tales of love and matrimony.
