In this gallery you will uncover eighteen color drawings of some amazing Creatures under the Sea. They come from the book Poissons, Ecrevisses et Crabes…, which was written by Mr. Louis Renard in 1754. Translations from the original French and other languages are taken from Fishes, Crayfishes and Crabs: Louis Renard’s Natural History of the Rarest Curiosities of the Seas of the Indies authored by Professor Theodore W. Pietsch in 1995. Shown are depictions of the Black-bellied Triggerfish, Armored Sea Robin, Guitarfish, and Sculptured Slipper Lobster, among others. Don’t you just love those names! In each description, I’ve given the original name of the creature as written in Renard’s book, and the translated, accepted, and common names given in Pietsch’s edition. If you’re having fun viewing these incredible Creatures under the Sea, be sure to swim around to the pages with more Fish from the Ocean and some Sea Crabs. Enjoy!
