EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali" or "Dictionary of Natural Sciences," published in Florence, Italy in 1837, showcases two fascinating marine species: the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus, 1) and the shrimp (Atya scabra, 2). The illustration, engraved by Stanghi and drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre, offers a detailed and accurate representation of these crustaceans. The Norway lobster, also known as the common spiny lobster or the European lobster, is a large, squat crustacean with a distinctive body shape and long, slender antennae. Its colour ranges from brown to greenish-grey, and it is covered in small, sharp spines. The Norway lobster is a valuable commercial and recreational species, found in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. The shrimp depicted in the engraving is the common or tiger shrimp, a species of decapod crustacean that is widely distributed in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It is characterized by its elongated body, multiple legs, and distinctive striped pattern. The shrimp is an essential component of many marine food chains and is a popular food source for humans. The history of marine biology is richly documented in illustrations such as this one, which provides a window into the natural world of the past. The intricate details of the Norway lobster and shrimp, captured through the skillful hands of Jean Gabriel Pretre and Stanghi, offer a testament to the beauty and diversity of the marine environment. This engraving is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or marine science, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the natural world for future generations.
