EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases a vibrant and intricate collection of Staurozoa, or stalked jellyfish, captured in the illustrative masterpiece of Ernst Haeckel. The image features several distinct species, including Tesserantha connectens (1, 2), Haliclystus auricula (3, 4), Lucernaria bathyphila (6), and Lucernaria quadricornis (7). Staurozoans are unique among jellyfish for their elongated, stalked polyp form, which anchors them to the seafloor. The polyp form serves as a feeding and reproductive structure, while the medusa stage, which is not depicted in this image, is responsible for reproduction and dispersal. The first two species, Tesserantha connectens, can be identified by their distinctive pyramid-shaped structures and the presence of four long, slender tentacles. Haliclystus auricula, on the other hand, displays a more rounded shape with shorter, clubbed tentacles and a fringed oral disc. Lucernaria bathyphila and Lucernaria quadricornis share similarities in their elongated, cylindrical shape, but Lucernaria bathyphila has a more pronounced, bulbous oral disc, while Lucernaria quadricornis sports four prominent, corn-like projections. This stunning artwork, created by Adolf Glitsch from an original illustration by Ernst Haeckel, is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. Produced in 1904 as part of Haeckel's renowned series, "Art Forms in Nature" (Kunstformen der Natur), this chromolithograph is an excellent example of the Art Nouveau design aesthetic, with its intricate detail and vivid colors. The image invites viewers to explore the wonders of the deep sea and appreciate the intricate adaptations of these fascinating creatures.
