EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 19th century showcases a fascinating array of crustaceans, including hermit crabs and a majestic coconut crab. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving brings these marine creatures to life, capturing their intricate details with precision. In the foreground, we see Pagurus excavatus, commonly known as the common hermit crab, nestled inside its shell. Its vibrant colors and delicate appendages make it a mesmerizing subject for study. Just beside it is Pagurus bernhardus, another species of hermit crab that adds diversity to this composition. However, stealing the spotlight is Birgus latro - the mighty coconut crab. With its imposing size and impressive pincers, this creature commands attention. Known for its ability to crack open coconuts with ease using its powerful claws, the coconut crab is truly an extraordinary specimen. The illustration was expertly crafted by Jean Gabriel Pretre and engraved by Corsi under Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's supervision for his renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). Published in Florence in 1837 by Batelli e Figli, this print serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic excellence. As we admire this historical artwork today through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of nature's wonders and our ongoing fascination with the diverse creatures that inhabit our planet's oceans.
