EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Echinoidea" from the renowned collection "Art Forms in Nature" by Ernst Haeckel and Adolf Glitsch, showcases an intriguing array of Echinoidea sea urchins. The illustration, published in Liepzig, Germany, in 1904, captures the unique beauty and diversity of these marine creatures. The first and second sea urchins depicted are identified as Clypeaster rosaceus. With their distinctive, heart-shaped tests and long, spiny arms, these urchins are commonly known as "sea biscuits" due to their biscuit-like appearance. The third and fourth specimens are identified as Encope emarginata, characterized by their elongated, pointed tests and short, curved spines. The fifth to ninth sea urchins in this image are identified as Echinocyamus pusillus. These small, globular urchins possess short, thick spines that are arranged in a closely packed pattern, providing excellent camouflage against predators. The intricate details of these Echinoidea sea urchins are brought to life through the masterful artistry of Ernst Haeckel and Adolf Glitsch. Their collaborative work, which includes over 1,000 illustrations, continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its exquisite depictions of the natural world. This chromolithograph is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our oceans and the diverse organisms that inhabit them.
