EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century drawing, titled "Coral," is a captivating work of art by the skilled hand of Thomas Malie. The image, dated between 1700 and 1789, showcases Malie's remarkable ability to bring the intricacies of the natural world to life through his illustrations. The focus of this drawing is a vibrant and diverse array of corals, which are presented in stunning detail. Corals are invertebrates belonging to the phylum Cnidaria, specifically the class Anthozoa and subclass Coelenterata, and are known for their distinctive anthozoan polyps. These animals exhibit the coelenterate body plan, which includes a radial symmetry, a digestive cavity called a gastrovascular cavity, and tentacles lined with stinging cells called nematocysts. The corals depicted in this illustration are likely native to the Indies, a region encompassing the Indian Ocean and the Eastern Hemisphere. The West, where Thomas Malie resided, would have had access to a wealth of knowledge about these exotic marine organisms through trade and exploration. This drawing serves as a testament to the fascination and curiosity that the natural world held for artists and scientists during the 18th century. Malie's meticulous attention to detail and his dedication to accurately representing the beauty and complexity of corals make this a truly remarkable piece of historical art.
