EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Long-horn isopod, Astacilla longicornis (Oniscus longicornis), a fascinating creature rarely seen or known. The handcoloured copperplate engraving was skillfully created by James Sowerby for his renowned work, The British Miscellany, or Coloured figures of new, rare, or little known animal subjects. Sowerby's attention to detail and artistic talent are evident in this exquisite piece of zoological illustration from the 19th century. The Long-horn isopod is beautifully depicted with its elongated horns and intricate body structure. Its unique features make it stand out among other crustaceans. The vibrant colors used in this handcoloured engraving bring life to the image and allow us to appreciate the beauty of this little-known species. It serves as a testament to Sowerby's dedication to capturing nature's wonders through art. As we gaze at this print, we are transported back in time to an era when natural history illustrations were highly valued for their scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. This particular engraving represents a significant contribution to our understanding of the diverse world of marine life. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have the privilege of admiring this remarkable artwork that celebrates both science and artistry.
