Poster about the spider crab, based on an old lithograph from 1842.

Poster of the spider crab, after an 1842 engraving by the American naturalist James Ellsworth De Kay. Dimensions: 30 X 42 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, heavyweight paper, 160 g. Shipped securely in a rigid package. This superb illustration accurately depicts the spider crab, also known as Maia squinado, famous for its long, slender legs and its green and brown carapace. The delicate rendering of textures and shadows evokes the meticulous work of 19th-century naturalists. Perfect for a coastal-inspired décor, this poster will add a touch of elegance to an interior reminiscent of seaside homes: an antique light oak sideboard, an old-fashioned gilt mirror, a rattan armchair, or even a model sailboat placed on a mahogany chest of drawers. A true tribute to the understated beauty of marine creatures and to the naturalist art of the period.
