EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving showcases a variety of two- and morevalve conch cases or mussels, providing a fascinating glimpse into the world of marine life. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. The engraving features several different types of shells, each depicted from various angles to highlight their unique characteristics. On the left side, we see the natural position of a Venus mussel's left shell, followed by both shells viewed from the rocky side in their natural position. The right shell of the same creature is shown from inside in its natural position, while its left shell is displayed externally but artificially positioned. Continuing along, we encounter an inner view of the right shell belonging to a date-boring mussel and then move on to explore other intriguing specimens such as Pholadidoidea with its drilling tools and Teredo with segmented boring instruments. The image also presents us with glimpses into creatures like Coronula Diadema and Polylepas vulgaris through their distinctive lids. Additionally featured are various clamshells including those belonging to KAaferschnecke and Chiton raripilosus. Amongst these diverse forms lies Venus Chione, Pholas Dactylus, Teredo niger, Teredo navalis, Balanus Tulipa, Balanus squamosus alongside others waiting to be discovered within this visual composition. Published between 1790-1830 as part of Friedrich Justin Bertuch's Picture Book for Children (A Bilderbuch fAor Kinder), this engraving provides not only educational value but also serves as an artistic testament to humanity's fascination with nature throughout history.
