EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, published in 1897, showcases the mesmerizing marine aquarium at the Zoological Station Naples (Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn) in Italy. Founded in 1872, this renowned institution has been a hub for scientific research and education on marine life for over a century. The print features an array of fascinating sea creatures that inhabit the Mediterranean waters. From the delicate Mediterranean scallop to the elusive European squid, each organism is meticulously illustrated by Italian painter Comingio Merculianol. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring these underwater inhabitants to life. Amongst the diverse species depicted are the graceful Venus girdle, majestic pelagic stingray, and striking purple seastar. The image also captures intriguing organisms such as red sea squirts, vase tunicates, and tubular worms that add depth to this underwater ecosystem. Notably present are various types of coral formations including precious coral and yellow tree coral which contribute to the beauty and biodiversity of this aquatic environment. This lithograph serves as a visual testament to both the artistic talent of Merculianol and the rich diversity found within our oceans. It reminds us of nature's wonders waiting to be explored beneath the waves while paying homage to one of Italy's most esteemed centers for marine research.
