EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning glass model of Aurelia aurita, or the Common Jellyfish, is a masterpiece created by Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka in the late 19th century, currently held at the Natural History Museum in London. The Blaschka brothers, renowned for their intricately detailed glass models of various marine organisms, brought the ethereal beauty of the ocean to land with their lifelike creations. Aurelia aurita, also known as the Moon Jelly or Saucer Jelly, is a type of jellyfish belonging to the class Scyphozoa and order Semaeostomeae. Its bell-shaped body, which can reach up to 30 centimeters in diameter, is translucent and has a delicate, bell-like appearance, earning it the name 'moon jelly'. The jellyfish's tentacles, which can extend up to 1 meter in length, are lined with tiny stinging cells called nematocysts, used to capture prey. The Blaschka model captures the fragile, otherworldly essence of this jellyfish, with its delicate, undulating bell and tentacles suspended in glass. The model showcases the intricate details of the jellyfish's anatomy, from the subtle ridges on the bell to the tiny, almost imperceptible structures on the tentacles. This model is a testament to the brothers' exceptional craftsmanship and their dedication to preserving the natural world through art. The intricacy and beauty of the Blaschka jellyfish models continue to captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the wonders of the ocean and the Victorian era's fascination with the natural world.
