EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century drawing showcases the mesmerizing beauty of various jellyfish species. In this intricate artwork, a diverse assortment of jellyfishes gracefully float in the depths of the ocean. At the top, we see the ethereal white Moon jelly (Aurelia aurita), its translucent body glowing like a lunar orb. Below it, an elegant long-tentacled Sea Nettle jelly (Chrysaora sp. ) glides through the water with effortless grace. Intriguingly box-shaped, a Box jelly (Carybdea marsupialis) catches our attention as it hovers nearby. Its unique structure is unlike any other creature in this composition. Another white beauty called Rhizostoma jelly (Rhizostoma pulmo) can be seen alongside these fascinating creatures. Adding to the allure of this illustration are brown Lucernaria sp. , members of the Stauromedusae order that attach themselves to seaweed with their delicate tentacles swaying gently in harmony with underwater currents. This stunning depiction not only captures these enchanting marine organisms but also serves as a testament to scientific exploration and discovery during the 1800s. It offers us a glimpse into an era when zoology and biology were rapidly advancing fields. As we gaze upon this piece from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of both nature's wonders and humanity's ceaseless curiosity about life beneath our oceans' surface.
