EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite glass model of Enoploteuthis veranii, also known as the Fragile Squid, is a masterpiece created by Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka in the late 19th century. Housed at the Natural History Museum in London, this intricately detailed work of art showcases the Blaschka's exceptional skill in creating lifelike models of marine invertebrates. The Blaschka brothers, who worked between 1857 and 1939, were renowned for their glass models of various marine organisms, including cephalopods, which they meticulously crafted using colored glass, gold leaf, and fine wires. This particular model of Enoploteuthis veranii, a member of the Enoploteuthidae family, is a testament to their artistic and scientific prowess. The Fragile Squid, which measures approximately 15 cm in length, is depicted with its long, delicate tentacles extended, revealing the intricate details of its arms and suckers. The model's translucent glass body and tentacles capture the ethereal beauty of this deep-sea dwelling cephalopod, while the fine wires and glass beads used to create the suckers add a touch of realism. The Blaschka's glass models were a popular addition to natural history museums during the Victorian era, providing visitors with a unique and captivating glimpse into the natural world. This model of Enoploteuthis veranii, with its fragile and delicate appearance, is a reminder of the wonders of the deep sea and the remarkable craftsmanship of the Blaschka brothers.
