EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts two exquisite coral species, Cup caryophylla and Caryophyllia cyathus, found in the depths of the marine world. The intricate details of these corals are beautifully rendered by the skilled hand of English naturalist and illustrator, Richard Polydore Nodder, and published in William Elford Leach's Zoological Miscellany in 1814. Cup caryophylla, also known as the 'blue cup coral,' is characterized by its blue-green cups that house tiny polyps. These polyps extend their tentacles to feed on plankton and other microorganisms, contributing to the complex and diverse ecosystem of the coral reef. Caryophyllia cyathus, or the 'red cup coral,' is distinguished by its bright red cups and white polyps. This coral forms large colonies and provides shelter for various marine organisms, including shrimp and small fish. The meticulous attention to detail in this handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the importance of documenting the natural world during the Age of Discovery. The illustration not only showcases the beauty of these coral species but also contributes to the growing body of knowledge about the marine environment. This image invites us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the role of scientific illustration in advancing our understanding of the natural world.
