EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases two stunning coral species: the Venus fan coral (Gorgonia flabellum, also known as Keratophyton flabelliforme) and the reticulated red coral (Corallium reticulatum). The image is derived from an illustration by Christian Nicolaus Kleemann, as featured in Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae, published by Blusse and Son in Nuremberg in 1771. These corals were part of the Wunderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosities of Dr. Christoph Jacob Trew or P.L. Muller. The Venus fan coral, with its elegant, fan-like shape and vibrant colors, is a common sight in the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean. Its intricate structure, formed by countless tiny polyps, provides shelter for various marine organisms. The reticulated red coral, on the other hand, is characterized by its intricate, net-like structure and rich, red hue. This coral is typically found in the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving highlights the beauty and intricacy of these natural wonders. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. This engraving not only serves as a testament to the natural beauty of these corals but also to the artistic skill of the engraver and the scientific curiosity of the time.
