EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is taken from Albertus Sebas's renowned three-volume work, "Thesaurus Botanicus, Zootomiae" published between 1752 and 1761. In particular, this image is from Volume 3, dedicated to the invertebrate kingdom. The illustration showcases a detailed depiction of a squid (teuthida), a type of cephalopod, from the order Octopoda. The squid's body is a beautiful blend of blue and brown hues, with its most striking feature being its large, expressive eye. The intricate detail of this illustration allows us to observe the squid's anatomy up close. The illustration highlights the presence of two long, curved tentacles, each adorned with numerous suction cups. These tentacles are used for grasping and manipulating objects, as well as for capturing prey. The squid's arms, which are shorter and fewer in number compared to the octopus, are also visible in the image. The squid's eyes are another fascinating feature of this illustration. The large, round eye is depicted with a complex retina and a transparent cornea, giving it a striking appearance. The illustration also shows the presence of two smaller eyes located on either side of the larger one. This illustration is a testament to the exceptional skill and artistry of the Dutch naturalist and publisher, Albertus Sebas. His meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accurate representation of natural specimens have made "Thesaurus Botanicus, Zootomiae" an invaluable resource for scientists and natural historians. The illustration also provides us with a glimpse into the natural world of the past, offering a fascinating insight into the anatomy and appearance of the squid, a remarkable and enigmatic creature of the deep sea.
