EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children) captures the beauty and intricacy of three different species of crabs. The European lobster, Homarus gammarus, with its distinctive blue coloring and spiky antennae, stands out against the backdrop of the page. Next to it is the edible crab, Cancer pagurus, showcasing its dorsal side in intricate detail.
But perhaps the most fascinating creature in this print is the Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus. Its unique appearance with a long tail-like structure and multiple legs make it a captivating subject for study. The dorsal and ventral views provide a comprehensive look at this ancient marine arthropod.
Dating back to 1792, this engraving serves as a valuable historical document in the field of natural history and zoology. It offers insight into how these creatures were perceived and studied during that time period in Germany.
The delicate handcolouring adds an artistic touch to these scientific illustrations, highlighting their beauty while also emphasizing their importance as subjects of study. This print is not just a visual feast for the eyes but also a reminder of our fascination with the wonders of nature throughout history.
