EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph by Adolf Glitsch, based on an illustration by Ernst Haeckel from his renowned publication "Art Forms in Nature," showcases a diverse array of lichens. Lichens are unique organisms that form symbiotic partnerships between fungi and photosynthetic partners, such as algae or cyanobacteria. They play a crucial role in various ecosystems, contributing to soil formation, nutrient cycling, and providing food sources for many organisms. The intricately detailed print features several distinct lichen species. Cladia retipora, also known as the coral lichen, is identified by its branching, coral-like structure. Cladonia perfoliata and Cladonia cervicornis ssp. verticillata, both cup lichens, can be distinguished by their cup-shaped structures that hold moisture. Cladonia squamosa, Cladonia fimbriata, and Cladoniaceae species display various shades of green and brown, with the latter having a unique, frilly appearance. Tree lungwort (Lobaria pulmonaria) is depicted with its large, lobed thallus, while Physcia stellaris boasts star-shaped apothecia. Melanohalea olivacea and Anaptychia crinalis display complex, wavy structures, and the greenshield lichen (Flavoparmelia caperata) is characterized by its bright green color and shield-like appearance. This print not only highlights the diverse beauty of lichens but also serves as a testament to the intricate detail and artistic mastery of Ernst Haeckel's work. It invites us to appreciate the wonders of nature and the fascinating symbiotic relationships that exist within the natural world.
