EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning glass model of Sepia officinalis, commonly known as the common cuttlefish or European common squid, is a testament to the extraordinary artistry of Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka. Created in the late nineteenth century, this intricate work of art is held at the Natural History Museum in London and showcases the beauty and fragility of this enigmatic cephalopod. The Blaschka brothers, Leopold (1822-1895) and Rudolf (1857-1939), were renowned for their glass models of marine invertebrates, which they meticulously crafted using the techniques of glassblowing and painting. Their models, which included over 4,000 specimens, were produced between 1857 and 1939 and are considered some of the most exquisite and detailed representations of their time. Sepia officinalis is a member of the Sepiida family, which also includes the squid and the octopus. This invertebrate is known for its ability to change color and texture to blend in with its surroundings, making it a master of camouflage. The model captures the intricate details of the squid's body, including its eight arms and two longer tentacles, which it uses to grasp and manipulate objects. The delicate glass model is a reminder of the rich history of natural history and the importance of preserving and showcasing the wonders of the natural world. The Blaschka models continue to inspire awe and fascination, and this Sepia officinalis model is a must-see for anyone visiting the Natural History Museum in London.
