EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Andreas Hoffer after an illustration by Christian Leinberger, showcases a Harbor Seal, Phoca vitulina, gracefully floating in the water amidst a vibrant underwater landscape. The seal's sleek body and expressive eyes convey a sense of curiosity and intelligence. Surrounding the Harbor Seal are various marine plants, including green algae, Acetabularia acetabulum, and seaweed, Fucus species. The alga Acetabularia acetabulum, depicted in the foreground, is particularly noteworthy with its distinctive bell-shaped structure. In the background, a Tilleul marin, or sea tulip, adds an element of whimsy and wonder. This exquisite illustration is taken from Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae, a collection of rare and exotic specimens from the Wunderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosities owned by Dr. Christoph Jacob Trew in Nuremberg. The meticulous attention to detail and rich color palette bring the underwater world to life and transport us back in time to the age of natural history exploration.
