The print, part of Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned "Picture Book for Children" published between 1790 and 1830, offers a glimpse into the diverse world of holothurians or sea cucumbers. The artwork features an array of peculiar species such as the Spritzwurm, Phantapus Holothurie, elegant Holothurie, Pentaktes-Holothurie, Spindel-Holothurie, Pinsel-Holothurie, Sipunculus nudus and more. Each creature is meticulously depicted with intricate details that highlight their unique characteristics. The vibrant colours used in this engraving bring these mysterious underwater inhabitants to life.
