EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning watercolor print by the Port Jackson Painter, showcasing an intriguing assemblage of four different molluscs native to Australasia. Dating back to the 18th century, this illustration from the Watling Collection invites us to explore the rich biodiversity of the Australian waters. The central mollusc is a Frilled Mussel (Neotaenioglossa), its distinctive frilled edges adding a touch of elegance to the composition. To the left, we find a Giant Clam (Charonia), its massive size and intricate pattern making it a true marvel of the underwater world. The third mollusc is a Brown Lamellibranch (Opalia), its ladder-like shell a testament to its unique classification as an Epitoniidae. Lastly, the smallest mollusc is an Austrwelk or a Ladder Shell (Lamellibranchia), its delicate form a stark contrast to the grandeur of its companions. This beautiful watercolor not only serves as a testament to the Port Jackson Painter's skill but also highlights the importance of preserving the diverse molluscan fauna of Australasia. The molluscs depicted in this print - the Frilled Mussel, Giant Clam, Brown Lamellibranch, and Ladder Shell - are all part of the Phylum Mollusca, which includes over 80,000 known species. With a focus on gastropods and bivalves, this illustration showcases the incredible variety within the classes Gastropoda and Bivalvia. As we marvel at the intricate details of these molluscs, we are reminded of the importance of protecting these precious creatures and their habitats. This exquisite watercolor print, "Gna-go-rang," is a reminder of the natural beauty that lies beneath the waves and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
