EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph showcases a vibrant and intricate display of Bryozoa moss animals, captured in exquisite detail by the renowned German scientist and artist, Ernst Haeckel, and expertly rendered by Adolf Glitsch in 1904. The image features various species of Bryozoa, including Cristatella mucedo (1-5, 10-12), Plumatella repens (6-8), and Plumatella fungosa (9). Bryozoa, also known as moss animals, are a phylum of small, colonial invertebrates that form complex structures called zooids. They are filter feeders, using their ciliated tentacles to capture plankton from the water. The diverse range of shapes and forms in this print reflects the incredible adaptability and complexity of these fascinating organisms. The Cristatella mucedo, depicted in several instances throughout the print, is characterized by its tall, branching colonies and delicate, feathery appearance. Plumatella repens, on the other hand, forms flat, fan-like colonies, while Plumatella fungosa displays a more fungus-like structure. The fungoid bryozoan, also present in the print, is a rare and enigmatic species, with a unique, fungus-like appearance. Its inclusion in this illustration highlights Haeckel's meticulous attention to detail and his dedication to documenting the natural world in all its complexity. This chromolithograph, a beautiful example of the Art Nouveau style, is a testament to the enduring fascination with the intricacies of nature and the artistic vision of its creators. It continues to captivate viewers with its vivid colors, intricate patterns, and the wondrous world of Bryozoa it reveals.
