EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print, titled "Deliciae Naturae Selectae" and published by Blusse and Son in Nuremberg in 1771, showcases a stunning array of various shells. The centerpiece of this composition is the Jewel Box Clam, or Chama squamata 1, with its intricately patterned iridescent interior. Surrounding it are an Embossed Horn Shell, Mitra mitra (Mitra episcopalis) 2 and 3, displaying their distinctive ridged and spiral shapes. The Volute Sea Snail, Voluta musicalis 4, with its elegant spiral form and delicate ridges, is depicted alongside an Agate Volute 5, showcasing the unique beauty of its agate-like exterior. The print also features several other shells, including the Groene Zilvermond 6, Nassau Shell 7, and two varieties of Sunbeam Shells, the Purple Sunbeam and Violet Sunbeam 8 and 9. The intricate details of each shell are expertly captured in this meticulously hand-drawn and engraved work, providing a window into the natural world of over 250 years ago. The artist, Georg Wolfgang Knorr, dedicated himself to accurately recording the wonders of nature through his art, resulting in this stunning and intricate representation of these beautiful and diverse shells. This print not only serves as a testament to Knorr's skill as an artist but also to the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
