EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two fascinating crustaceans - the slipper lobster and butterfly fan lobster. Captured by Corsi in the 19th century, this artwork is a testament to the intricate details and vibrant colors found in nature. The slipper lobster, scientifically known as Thenus orientalis, takes center stage with its elongated body and distinctive flattened head. Its delicate features are beautifully highlighted in this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali. The artist, Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, skillfully directed Jean Gabriel Pretre to create a lifelike representation of this remarkable creature. Accompanying the slipper lobster is the enchanting butterfly fan lobster, also referred to as Ibacus peronii. This species captivates viewers with its intricately patterned exoskeleton and graceful appearance. The attention to detail in this illustration engraved by Stanhi truly brings out the unique characteristics of these marine wonders. Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, this print stands as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic talent during that era. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with natural history and our ongoing quest for knowledge about Earth's diverse ecosystems.
