These marine arthropods are not true crabs but are related to arachnids (spiders and scorpions). They are known for their distinctive horseshoe-shaped carapace and long, pointed tail spine or telson. The engraving is a scientific illustration from "The 'Dictionnaire Classique des Sciences Naturelles'" by Pierre Auguste Joseph Drapiez, published in 1845. It is a detailed, hand-colored print that was likely used for educational purposes to study the anatomy of this species. See less
