EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Norway King Crab or Northern Stone Crab, Lithodes maja, a large and impressive marine crustacean native to the North Atlantic and Arctic seas. The crab's robust and armored body is covered in a thick layer of hair-like setae, providing excellent camouflage among the rocky seafloor. Its long, powerful legs are tipped with sharp claws, used for both defense and capture of prey. The Norway King Crab is a popular subject in zoological studies due to its unique features and significant size, with some individuals reaching up to 5 meters (16 feet) in leg span and weighing over 15 kilograms (33 pounds). This engraving, taken from The British Miscellany, or Coloured Figures of New, Rare, or Little Known Animal Subjects, published in London in 1804 by James Sowerby, showcases the intricate details of the crab's anatomy and offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating marine creature. The Norway King Crab's scientific name, Lithodes maja, comes from the Greek words "lithos," meaning stone, and "odes," meaning foot, reflecting its stony habitat and powerful limbs. The crab's common names, Norway King Crab and Northern Stone Crab, refer to its distribution in the Northern Atlantic and Arctic regions. This exquisite engraving is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying marine ecosystems for future generations.
