EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Stony Corals: Diploria labyrinthiformis 1, Madrepora favosa 2, Madrepora astroites 3, Galaxea fascicularis 4, Amaranthus saxea 5," is a stunning representation of five different stony coral species from the Wunderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosities era. The engraving, created by Georg Wolfgang Knorr for his publication "Deliciae Naturae Selectae," showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of these underwater organisms. The first coral depicted is Diploria labyrinthiformis, with its complex branching structure and labyrinthine pattern. Next, Madrepora favosa is displayed in all its beauty, with its distinctive brown color and rounded, tabular growth form. Madrepora astroites, also known as the star coral, is illustrated in its full splendor, with its radiating arms and star-like appearance. Galaxea fascicularis, commonly known as the finger coral, is depicted in its delicate form, with its long, thin branches and small, finger-like projections. Lastly, Amaranthus saxea is illustrated with its encrusting growth form and reddish-brown color. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time, providing an accurate and visually stunning record of these stony coral species. The use of hand-coloring further enhances the realism and beauty of the illustration, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical zoological illustrations.
