Crustacea
A natural history atlas plate series from James Dwight Dana's 1852 Crustacea volume, printed in Philadelphia by C. Sherman for scientific readers studying crustaceans and their geographic distribution. The pictures are fine engraved plates of crabs, lobsters, shrimp and copepods, drawn as labelled specimens with dotted detail lines and small enlarged anatomical views, offering a designer a model for scientific diagram layouts and tidy grid arrangements of specimens.
