Marine Ornamentation: An Assembly of Coral and Marine Flora, 1845
About the Item
The image is a hand-colored engraving featuring various marine organisms, focusing on coral and similar marine life:
1. **Lucernaire auricule** - Possibly depicting a type of stalked jellyfish, which are known for their bell-shaped bodies attached to the sea floor by a stalk.
2. **Tubipore pourpré** - This likely represents a species of tube coral, also known as organ-pipe coral, characterized by their hard, tube-like structures.
3. **Eustrée foliacé** - This could be a leafy sea fan, a type of gorgonian coral with a branching, fan-like appearance.
4. **Flabellaire raquette** - This term could refer to a fan-shaped coral, which has a shape reminiscent of a racquet.
5. **Udotee flabellée** - Likely illustrating a type of marine algae known for their flattened, fan-like blades.
6. **Recéphalite dentpune** - This might be an extinct type of coral or coral-like organism, possibly from the cephalopod family given the root word "cephalite."
The engraving is from 'The 'Dictionnaire Classique des Sciences Naturelles' by Pierre Auguste Joseph Drapiez, which was published in 1845. The illustrations are highly detailed and colored to enhance the understanding of the natural forms of these marine organisms.
