Illustration of the Spiny Lobster, 1845
About the Item
The animal in this print is the spiny lobster, specifically labeled as "Palinurus marginatus," which is likely a historical name not used in current taxonomy. Spiny lobsters, also known as rock lobsters, are a type of crustacean found in warm seas. Unlike true lobsters, they do not have large claws and are characterized by a hard, spiny exoskeleton and long, thick antennae.
The print is a hand-colored engraving from the "Dictionnaire Classique des Sciences Naturelles" by Pierre Auguste Joseph Drapiez, published in 1845. The detailed illustration shows the top and underside of the lobster, highlighting its anatomy and the vibrant colors that would have been used for scientific education and reference.
