EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Victorian Marvel: The Glass-Modeled Polyclonia Frondosa, or Upside-Down Jellyfish, at the Natural History Museum, London 2.. This exquisite glass model of Polyclonia frondosa, also known as the upside-down jellyfish or the purple-tinged jelly, is a testament to the intricate artistry and scientific curiosity of the late 19th century. Created by Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolf between 1857 and 1939, this masterpiece is held in the esteemed collections of the Natural History Museum in London. The Blaschkas were renowned for their glass models of various marine organisms, including jellyfish, which they meticulously crafted to capture the intricate details of their subjects. The Polyclonia frondosa model is particularly noteworthy, as it belongs to the class Scyphozoa, order Rhizostomeae, and family Cassiopeidae. This jellyfish, with its distinctive bell-shaped body and long, trailing tentacles, is a member of the true jellyfish phylum Cnidaria. Polyclonia frondosa, also known as the purple-tinged jelly, is a common sight in shallow waters of the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Its bell can reach up to 30 cm in diameter, and its tentacles can extend up to 1 m. The jellyfish's unique feature is its ability to turn itself upside down, attaching itself to the seafloor using its mucus-covered underside. The Blaschka's glass model accurately depicts the jellyfish's delicate structure, with its transparent bell and intricately modeled tentacles. The model's upside-down positioning further highlights its distinctive feature. This stunning piece not only showcases the beauty of the natural world but also serves as a reminder of the scientific curiosity and artistic prowess of the Victorian era.
