EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae captures the intricate beauty of various sea stars or starfish species. In the center, we see a sea star with five arms, known as Asterias rubens B, showcasing its vibrant colors and unique shape. Surrounding it are two other starfish species with one and two arms respectively, adding to the diversity of these fascinating creatures. In contrast, a four-armed sea star stands out among the group, displaying its own distinct characteristics. Lastly, a small sea star completes the composition, highlighting the range of sizes within this marine species. Each detail is meticulously depicted in this illustration, emphasizing Knorr's dedication to capturing the wonders of nature. This engraving transports us back to 1771 when such specimens were considered treasures in cabinets of curiosities. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with the natural world and our desire to understand and appreciate its complexity. Through this artwork, we can marvel at the intricacies of these sea stars and gain a deeper appreciation for their place in our ecosystem.
