EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of the Norway king crab, also known as Lithodes maja. Captured by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true work of art. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this crustacean to life, allowing us to marvel at its unique features. The lithodes arctica, or Norway king crab, is depicted here in all its glory - from its impressive size to its striking appearance. Created for Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this illustration was engraved by Corsi under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre. Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, it stands as a testament to Turpin's exceptional talent as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported into the world of natural history and marine science. It serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity that exists within our oceans and encourages us to appreciate and protect these precious creatures.
