In 1828, the Marseille naturalist Polydore Roux began publishing his Crustacés de la Méditerranée et de son littoral — the most comprehensive study of Mediterranean crustaceans ever attempted, with hand-colored copperplate stipple engravings produced from freshly collected specimens under his direct supervision.
