EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases three stunning coral specimens: Black Corals (Antipatharia spp.), Red Corals (Corallium spp.), and a Mushroom Coral (Fungia fungites, syn. Madrepora fungites). The intricate detail in this illustration, taken from Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae or Rarities of Nature, was produced by Christian Nicolaus Kleemann. The specimens depicted are part of a Wunderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosities owned by esteemed naturalists Dr. Christoph Jacob Trew, August Martin Schadeloock, and D. Stedeling. The Black Corals, with their dark, intricate branches, contrast beautifully with the vibrant Red Corals, displaying their delicate, branching structures and vivid red hues. The Mushroom Coral, named for its distinctive, cap-like shape, adds a unique and intriguing element to the composition. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the 18th century. It offers a glimpse into the natural world, showcasing the beauty and diversity of corals, which continue to captivate and inspire us today. The intricate details of the illustration, brought to life through the hand-coloring process, make this a truly remarkable piece of zoological art.
