EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of two fascinating crustaceans - the Carrier crab and Dorripd crab. Taken in the 19th century by Corsi, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece. The first subject, Homola barbata or Carrier crab, stands proudly with its spiky front legs that resemble a porter's load-bearing shoulders. Its unique appearance and vibrant colors make it an eye-catching creature in any marine environment. Next to it is Medorippe lanata or Dorripd crab, known for its fluffy exterior that gives it a charmingly fuzzy appearance. This delightful species has been meticulously captured by Jean Gabriel Pretre under the guidance of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most renowned French botanical illustrators of his time. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science, this illustration exemplifies scientific precision combined with artistic flair. The attention to detail and vivid coloring bring these crustaceans to life on paper. As you admire this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, take a moment to appreciate the wonders of nature captured within its frame. Let yourself be transported into the world beneath the waves where these extraordinary creatures roam freely.
