Echinoderms and crustacaens C017 / 3491
Plate from 18th century encyclopedia showing an illustration of echinoderms and crustaceans. Echinoderms are a phylum of marine animals. The adults are recognizable by their (usually five-point) radial symmetry, and include such well-known animals as starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers. Echinoderms are found at every ocean depth, from the intertidal zone to the abyssal zone. Echinoderms are also the largest phylum that has no freshwater or terrestrial (land-based) representatives. Crustaceans (Crustacea) form a very large group of arthropods, usually treated as a subphylum, which includes such familiar animals as crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill and barnacles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 18th century encyclopedia showcases a stunning illustration of echinoderms and crustaceans. Echinoderms, belonging to the phylum of marine animals, exhibit a distinct radial symmetry with their usually five-pointed bodies. Among these fascinating creatures are well-known species like starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers. Thriving in various ocean depths ranging from the intertidal zone to the abyssal zone, echinoderms hold the distinction of being the largest phylum without any representation in freshwater or terrestrial environments. On the other hand, crustaceans form an extensive group of arthropods often considered as a subphylum. This diverse group encompasses familiar marine animals such as crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill and barnacles. The intricate illustration beautifully captures their intricate features and unique characteristics. The mesmerizing image transports us into an underwater world teeming with life and diversity. From graceful starfish gliding through ocean currents to intricately armored lobsters scuttling along sandy seabeds - this print encapsulates both beauty and scientific significance. David Parker's exceptional work immortalizes these enchanting creatures within this timeless piece of artistry. It serves as a reminder that our oceans harbor countless wonders waiting to be explored and understood by curious minds fascinated by nature's incredible creations.
