EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Long-spined Slate Pen Sea Urchin, Cidaris cidaris (Echinus cidaris) This hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the Long-spined Slate Pen Sea Urchin, Cidaris cidaris (formerly known as Echinus cidaris), a fascinating marine invertebrate. The image, created by the renowned natural history illustrator James Sowerby, is taken from The British Miscellany, or Coloured Figures of New, Rare, or Little Known Animal Subjects, published in London in 1804. The Long-spined Slate Pen Sea Urchin, also known as the Long-spined Hedgehog Sea Urchin, is native to the North Atlantic and North Sea. This urchin is easily recognizable by its long, slender, and sharp spines, which can grow up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) long. The test (the hard outer covering) of this urchin is dark grey or brown, with a smooth, slate-like appearance. The Long-spined Slate Pen Sea Urchin is an important species in its ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the health of the seafloor by feeding on algae and other organic matter. They are also an essential food source for various marine organisms, including starfish and seabirds. James Sowerby was a prominent English natural history illustrator, known for his meticulous attention to detail and accurate depictions of various species. The British Miscellany was one of his most significant works, featuring a diverse range of animal subjects, many of which were newly discovered or little known at the time. This engraving of the Long-spined Slate Pen Sea Urchin is a testament to Sowerby's artistic skill and his dedication to documenting the natural world. This image offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the North Atlantic and North Sea, showcasing the beauty and intrigue of the Long-spined Slate Pen Sea Urchin. Its inclusion in The British Miscellany serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
