EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Anthony Gepp in the late 19th century, transports us back in time to the Coral Gallery in The Natural History Museum (NHM), London. Established in 1881, the Coral Gallery was located in the West Wing of the Waterhouse Building, a Victorian architectural masterpiece that continues to house the museum's collections today. The photograph showcases a series of ornate glass display cases, each filled with an array of vibrant and intricately formed corals. Belonging to the phylum Anthozoa, or anthozoans, these invertebrates are characterized by their radial symmetry and tentacle-like structures. Also known as coelenterates, they are further distinguished by their ability to secrete calcium carbonate structures for support and protection. The Coral Gallery was a testament to the museum's commitment to preserving and showcasing the natural world. The meticulously arranged corals, displayed in their glass cases, would have fascinated visitors, offering a glimpse into the diverse and beautiful underwater ecosystems. The gallery's establishment in the late 19th century was a significant moment in the history of natural history museums, as it marked a growing interest in the study of marine life and the importance of preserving it for future generations. Anthony Gepp's photograph is an invaluable historical record of this remarkable space, providing us with a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the importance of preserving our natural heritage. The Coral Gallery continues to inspire awe and wonder, as it serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists beneath the waves.
