There are two genera (Allonautilus and Nautilus), with a total of six species. They grow with a shell that gets larger as they grow. The spiral shell is divided into chambers. Here this is compared with the cross section of an ammonite fossil (top left) found at Whitby, Yorkshire. This engraving was first published in the Gentlemans Magazine in 1752

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of a nautilus and an ammonite, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of marine cephalopods. The nautilus, belonging to the Nautilidae family, is depicted with its distinctive spiral shell divided into chambers. As these incredible creatures grow, their shells expand in size, creating a mesmerizing pattern that captivates both scientists and art enthusiasts alike. In this artwork dating back to the 18th century, we witness the intricate details of the nautilus shell being compared to a cross-section of an ammonite fossil discovered in Whitby, Yorkshire. The top left corner reveals this ancient relic from millions of years ago when these now-extinct creatures roamed our oceans. The monochrome engraving beautifully captures every curve and contour of these remarkable specimens. Its vertical composition adds elegance and depth to the image while emphasizing the delicate nature of these sea-dwelling organisms. Originally published in 1752 by Gentlemans Magazine, this engraving stands as a testament to both scientific discovery and artistic craftsmanship during the 1700s. Todd-White Art Photography has masterfully reproduced this historical piece for all admirers of natural history and fine art photography to appreciate its timeless beauty.
