EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Strange Crabs" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the incredible diversity of these fascinating creatures. The print is part of a private collection and originates from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned Picture Book for Children, published between 1790 and 1830. The artwork depicts four distinct species of crabs: the Landkrabbe, Bernhardskrebs or Soldier Crab, Sandkrabbe, and Krabben. Each crab is meticulously illustrated with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring them to life on paper. From left to right, we first encounter the Landkrabbe - a common hermit crab known for its ability to adapt in various environments. Next is the Bernhardskrebs or Soldier Crab, characterized by its robust appearance and strong pincers. The Sandkrabbe follows suit; an elusive ghost crab that blends seamlessly into its sandy surroundings. Finally, we have Krabben - a general term encompassing different types of crabs found along coastlines. This engraving not only showcases the artistic talent of German School but also serves as a valuable educational resource about these peculiar crustaceans. It invites us to marvel at their unique forms and appreciate nature's remarkable creations. Displayed here with permission from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print offers a glimpse into centuries past while reminding us of the enduring beauty found in both art and science.
