EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases the remarkable Mantis Shrimp, a fascinating creature that has captured the attention of nature enthusiasts for centuries. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration from "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" published between 1833 and 1839 by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville. The image beautifully captures the intricate details of this unique marine species. With its vibrant colors and delicate lines, it brings to life the exotic beauty of the mantis shrimp. The artist's skillful hand highlights every aspect of this creature's anatomy, showcasing its powerful claws and mesmerizing patterns. Accompanying the mantis shrimp in this print are other illustrations featuring plants like stapelia and squille, as well as creatures such as ocypus olens (devils coach horse beetle). This comprehensive depiction provides viewers with a glimpse into various elements of natural history during that era. Preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen and made available through Bridgeman Images, this artwork allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also serves as a valuable historical document.
