EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Teleostei" or "Ray-Finned Fish," is an exquisite illustration from the renowned work "Art Forms in Nature" by Ernst Haeckel and Adolf Glitsch, published in Leipzig, Germany, in 1904. The illustration showcases a stunning array of various ray-finned fish species, showcasing their unique and intricate beauty. In the foreground, we find the Pegasus Laternarius, also known as the Sea Moth, with its translucent wings and delicate fins. The Short-Snouted Seahorse, Hippocampus hippocampus, is depicted gracefully hovering above the seabed, its equine-like snout and prehensile tail evident. The Leafy Sea Dragon, Phycodurus eques, is presented in all its splendor, its leafy appendages and elongated pectoral fins creating an uncanny resemblance to underwater vegetation. The Striated Frogfish, Antennarius striatus, is depicted with its unusual coloration and protruding head, while various fish scales add texture and detail to the illustration. Among the other fish species represented are the Short-Snouted Seahorse, Hippocampus brevirostris, the Spotted Dragonet, Callionymus sp., and the Spotted Boxfish, Ostracion megalopus. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of Ernst Haeckel and Adolf Glitsch, who meticulously documented the natural world and brought its wonders to life through their collaborative work. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this chromolithograph continue to captivate and inspire viewers over a century after its creation.
