EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases an enchanting collection of Prosobranchia sea snail shells, each one a testament to the intricate and beautiful designs found in nature. The image features a diverse array of species, showcasing their unique shapes and patterns. First, the Triumphant Star Turban, Guildfordia triumphans (1), boasts a stunning spiral pattern with star-like projections. Next to it, the Imperial Cone, Conus imperialis (2), displays its majestic conical shape with intricate stripes. The Madras Harp, Harpa davidis (3), resembles a harp with its elongated, curved shape and delicate ridges. The Venus Comb, Murex pecten pecten (4), boasts a distinctive comb-like pattern, while the Branched Murex, Chicoreus ramosus (5), showcases a complex branching structure. The Distaff Spindle, Fusinus colus (6), is characterized by its narrow, cylindrical shape with distinct bands. The Sunburst Star Turban, Astraea heliotropium (7, 8), is a true marvel with its intricate sunburst pattern and delicate, pointed tip. The Calcar, or foot, of each snail shell is also visible, adding to the overall beauty and complexity of these natural wonders. This stunning illustration, created by Ernst Haeckel and brought to life through the chromolithographic process by Adolf Glitsch in 1904, serves as a reminder of the breathtaking diversity and intricacy of the natural world. Each Prosobranchia sea snail shell is a unique work of art, a testament to the power and beauty of nature.
