EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases four specimens of the Sea star species, Asterias rubens, from the North Sea. The intricately detailed illustration is an exquisite example of the naturalistic artistry found in Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae, published by Blusse and Son in Nuremberg in 1771. The engraving offers a unique perspective of the sea stars' undersides, revealing their distinctive radial symmetry and the intricate patterns of their five arms. The vibrant colors and meticulous shading bring the marine creatures to life, highlighting their delicate textures and the subtle variations in their appearances. Sea stars, also known as starfish, are a fascinating and diverse group of echinoderms that inhabit the world's oceans. They are characterized by their radiating arms, which are covered in tiny tube feet that enable them to move across the seafloor and cling to rocks and other surfaces. This beautiful engraving is believed to have been part of the Wunderkammer, or Cabinet of Curiosities, owned by Dr. Christoph Jacob Trew in Nuremberg. Wunderkammern were private collections of unusual and exotic objects, often including natural specimens, that were meant to inspire wonder and curiosity. The engraving's inclusion in such a collection speaks to the fascination and appreciation for the natural world that existed during the 18th century. Today, this engraving remains a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the artistry of the natural history illustrators of the past. Its intricate details and vibrant colors continue to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the wonders of the sea and the natural history of the North Sea's sea stars.
