EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Tasmanian giant crab, Pseudocarcinus gigas, and the elegant European lobster, Homarus gammarus. The image, created by the French School in the 19th century, beautifully captures these remarkable crustaceans in stunning detail. The Tasmanian giant crab is a true marvel of nature with its impressive size and unique features. Its massive claws are a sight to behold, making it an iconic symbol of strength and power. Alongside it stands the European lobster, known for its graceful appearance and delicate coloration. Handcolored steel engraving techniques were employed by F. Chardon to bring this artwork to life. The intricate details of each creature's exoskeleton are meticulously portrayed through this artistic medium. Originally featured in Achille Comtes Musee d'Histoire Naturelle (Museum of Natural History) in Paris back in 1854, this illustration has stood the test of time as a testament to both scientific accuracy and artistic skill. As we admire this mesmerizing print today, let us appreciate not only the beauty found within our natural world but also acknowledge those who have dedicated their lives to studying and preserving such wonders. This image serves as a reminder that art can be used as a powerful tool to educate and inspire generations about our planet's diverse flora and fauna.
