EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning glass model of Phellia brodricii, a sea anemone, is a masterpiece created by Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka in the late 19th century, currently held at the Natural History Museum in London. The Blaschka brothers were renowned for their intricately detailed glass models of marine life, which they produced between 1857 and 1895. This particular model showcases the delicate beauty of this actiniarian anemone, a type of anthozoan or 'coral animal,' belonging to the class Hexacorallia and family Hormathiidae. Phellia brodricii, also known as Cataphellia brodricii, is a fragile and elusive creature found in the Indo-Pacific region. Its tentacles are adorned with tiny, stinging cells called nematocysts, which it uses to capture prey and defend itself. The Blaschka brothers meticulously replicated the anemone's intricate structure, from its column to its tentacles, creating a captivating representation of this vulnerable and elusive marine creature. The Blaschka models were produced during the Victorian era, a time when natural history was a popular pursuit, and these glass models were highly sought after by museums and institutions for their educational value. The models provided a unique opportunity to study and observe marine life up close, especially for those who could not travel to the ocean. This glass model of Phellia brodricii is a testament to the Blaschka brothers' extraordinary skill and dedication to preserving the natural world through art. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of natural history and the importance of preserving and appreciating the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
