EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of two fascinating crustaceans - the fiddler crab and angular crab. The image, captured by Corsi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). In this artwork, we are introduced to Gelasimus vocans, commonly known as the fiddler crab, and Goneplax rhomboides, also called the angular crab. These creatures exhibit remarkable characteristics that make them stand out in their marine habitat. The delicate details and vibrant colors depicted in this illustration were skillfully engraved by Stanghi under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin himself is celebrated as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, this print represents a significant contribution to natural history documentation. It serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic excellence. As we admire this exquisite piece from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its educational value. This image invites us into an enchanting world where nature's wonders are brought to life through artistry and meticulous observation.
