EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of a sea urchin-shaped starfish, captured by the talented German School in the 19th century. The print, now part of a private collection, is an enchanting piece from "A Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) published between 1790 and 1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this marine creature to life, revealing its unique shape and mesmerizing patterns. With delicate strokes, the artist has masterfully depicted every spine and ridge on the starfish's body. Its graceful presence evokes a sense of wonderment about the mysteries that lie beneath the ocean's surface. Accompanied by warm words in German - "Der seeigelförmige Seestern" (The sea urchin-shaped starfish) - this print invites us to explore further into nature's wonders. It also mentions "Asterias echinoides" indicating its scientific classification. This historical artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into early educational materials for children during that era. Preserved through time, it continues to inspire awe and curiosity about our natural world. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their vast collection without any commercial intentions; instead, they aim to celebrate artistry and share glimpses of our rich cultural heritage with enthusiasts worldwide.
