Sea Crabs
In this gallery are sixteen mesmerizing drawings of a variety of Sea Crabs from the Indo-West Pacific Oceans, according to the book Poissons, Ecrevisses et Crabes…, written by Mr. Louis Renard in 1754. Included are the Scorpion Crab, Frog Crab, Blue Swimming Crab, Red Frog Crab and many more colorful crustaceans. 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. In each description, I’ve included the original name of the creature as given in Renard’s book, and the translated, accepted, and common names given in Pietsch’s edition.
