EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, taken from Jussieus Dictionary of Natural Science published in Florence, Italy in 1837, showcases two intriguing marine creatures: the Red Rock Crab, Grapsus grapsus, and the Spider Crab, Maia squinado. The Red Rock Crab, with its vibrant red coloration and distinctive five-pointed star-shaped carapace, is a common inhabitant of the rocky shores of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Its long legs and pincers are adapted for scuttling across rocks and capturing prey. In contrast, the Spider Crab, with its elongated legs and spindly appendages, is a true anomuran crab, known for its ability to camouflage itself among the sea floor by spreading out its legs and blending in with the sand or rocks. The Spider Crab's coloration ranges from brown to red, and it is a scavenger, feeding on dead organisms and detritus. The intricate details of these crabs are beautifully captured in this engraving, which showcases the skill and artistry of the engraver. The handcoloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical zoological illustrations. This engraving is a testament to the rich history of natural science and the importance of documenting the natural world for future generations.
