About the Item
Zoology Print of Starfish, Sea Urchins and Sea Cucumbers by T Bromme c1865
This detailed hand-colored lithograph was published around 1865 by German geographer and scientific educator Traugott Bromme. Taken from his educational compendium *Illustrirter Hand-Atlas der Erde und der Menschheit*, this plate presents a captivating array of echinoderms, including starfish, sea urchins, brittle stars, feather stars, and sea cucumbers—marine invertebrates known for their radial symmetry and varied textures.
At the center of the plate is a large sea cucumber (1), shown in profile with fine detail in its tube feet and body texture. Prominently featured are multiple starfish species (7, 8, 9), including both classic five-armed and more elaborate forms like a sunstar (12). Also included are brittle stars (10, 11), distinguishable by their slender, flexible arms.
A variety of sea urchins (4, 5, 6, 17) are represented in both their natural forms and skeletal structures. The plate also includes feather stars or crinoids (3), whose delicate, feathered arms evoke the movement of aquatic flora. Additional forms such as the sea lily and other early echinoderms further illustrate the evolutionary range of this phylum.
Each species is numbered and arranged with clear spacing and balance, rendered with lithographic precision and enhanced through delicate hand coloring. These prints offered 19th-century audiences both education and aesthetic pleasure, combining scientific observation with artistic presentation.
This particular sheet is ideal for collectors of marine natural history, antique scientific illustration, or decorative works inspired by oceanic forms and Victorian biology.
