EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Sea Lily, 1833-39" takes us back to the enchanting world of nature in the 19th century. Created by an anonymous French artist and published by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville in his renowned Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la natureA between 1833 and 1839, this print is a true gem from a private collection. The image showcases the delicate beauty of a Sea Lily, also known as Encrinus liliiformis, gracefully floating amidst its marine habitat. The intricate details captured through the artistry of engraving bring this fascinating creature to life on paper. Its elegant form resembles that of a lily flower submerged underwater, evoking a sense of tranquility and wonder. Accompanying this stunning depiction are two other creatures: the Eurasian Nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) and an unidentified bird species. These avian companions add depth to the composition while highlighting the interconnectedness of different species within their natural environment. The expert use of colour adds vibrancy to each element portrayed in this print – from the vivid hues adorning the sea lily's petals to the subtle shades defining every feather on these birds' wings. This artwork not only serves as an exquisite visual representation but also stands as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with capturing and preserving moments from our natural world.
