EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 5 from the Zoology volume IV (1918) of the Terra Nova: Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913) showcases a captivating collection of Cephalodiscus species, beautifully illustrated by the skilled hand of British artist Gertrude Mary Woodward (1861-1939). This exquisite pen and ink wash drawing, titled "Cephalodiscus," is a testament to the rich biodiversity discovered during Sir Ernest Shackleton's historic expedition to Antarctica. The Cephalodiscus, a member of the Hemichordata phylum, is a unique and intriguing invertebrate. These animals, also known as acorn worms or pterobranchs, possess a distinctive body shape with a flat, disc-like oral pole and a long, tubular proboscis. The three species depicted in this plate - Cephalodiscus hodgsoni, Cephalodiscus densus, and Cephalodiscus evansi - are all members of the Cephalodiscidae family and were discovered in the Antarctic waters. Woodward's illustration of the female Cephalodiscus is a masterpiece of scientific artistry. The delicate details of the animal's anatomy are rendered with precision and care, providing an accurate record of these elusive creatures. The artist's skillful use of shading and contrast enhances the three-dimensional quality of the image, inviting the viewer to explore the intricacies of the Cephalodiscus's anatomy. This illustration is a significant contribution to the scientific record of the Terra Nova Expedition and a testament to the importance of women in the field of scientific exploration. Gertrude Mary Woodward's work, alongside that of other women artists and scientists involved in the expedition, continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the natural world.
