EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, published in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) in Florence, Italy, in 1837, showcases two intriguing crab species: the Velvet Swimming Crab (Necora puber) and the Marbled Swimming Crab (Liocarcinus marmoreus). The Velvet Swimming Crab, also known as the Eriolaulon puber or Dendroides puber, is depicted in the foreground, with its velvety, dark brown carapace and long, slender legs. The Marbled Swimming Crab, also known as the Portuno marmoreus or Dendroides marmoreus, is shown in the background, boasting a striking, marbled pattern on its carapace and a more robust appearance. The illustration was created under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, a renowned French botanical illustrator of the 19th century. Turpin's exceptional talent is evident in the meticulous details and lifelike rendering of these crabs. The illustration was engraved by Corsi and drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre. These crabs, though not plants, are included in this natural science dictionary, reflecting the comprehensive nature of Jussieu's work. The Velvet Swimming Crab and Marbled Swimming Crab are both edible and are often found in the Mediterranean and other coastal regions. Their inclusion in this historical work underscores the interconnectedness of various branches of natural science during the 19th century. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of botany and marine biology, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world as it was documented and understood during the time of Jussieu and Turpin.
