EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a mesmerizing array of strange snails and clams. The print, titled "Strange Snails and Clams" is part of a private collection and was created by an anonymous German School artist. It originates from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned publication, A Bilderbuch für Kinder (Picture Book for Children), which was published between 1790 and 1830. The artwork features various intriguing specimens, including the Nautilus or ship's keel, pearl mussels, genuine oriental pearl shells, German or magpie pearl shells, and mother-of-pearl shells. Each intricately detailed creature is meticulously engraved to highlight their unique characteristics. One standout subject in this composition is the Nautilus pompilius—a fascinating marine creature known for its spiral-shaped shell. Its presence adds an air of mystery to the scene as it glides effortlessly through the depths of the ocean. This historical print not only captures the beauty of these unusual molluscs but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature's wonders. Preserved through time by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen and made available by Bridgeman Images, this image invites us to appreciate both artistry and science while exploring the intricate world that lies beneath our oceans' surfaces.
