EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a captivating collection of Discomedusae jellyfish, showcasing their ethereal beauty and intricate structures. The image features several distinct species, including Linantha lunulata (1, 2), Palephyra antiqua (3, 4), Palephyra pelagica (6), Coronatae species (7), Nausithoe challengeri (8), and Wyvilles crownjelly, Atolla wyvillei (9). The Linantha lunulata jellyfish, with their bell-shaped bodies and delicate, waving tentacles, are contrasted by the more elongated and cylindrical Palephyra antiqua and Palephyra pelagica. The Coronatae species displays a unique, umbrella-like structure at the base of its tentacles, while Nausithoe challengeri boasts a striking, fan-like appearance. The Wyvilles crownjelly, Atolla wyvillei, is a remarkable specimen with its characteristic strobila, or chain of buds, which can be seen emerging from its bell. This image is a testament to the captivating diversity within the Discomedusae family of jellyfish. This exquisite work of art is a chromolithograph, created by Adolf Glitsch from an original illustration by Ernst Haeckel in 1904. Haeckel, a renowned German naturalist and artist, was a pioneer in documenting the natural world through illustrations, and his "Art Forms in Nature" series remains a seminal work in the field of natural history art. This image not only serves as a visually stunning representation of these enigmatic creatures but also as a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of its creators.
