EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork by Ernst Haeckel, depicting the intricate anatomy of two fascinating marine creatures - the sea squirt and the lancelet. Steeped in history, this illustration offers a glimpse into the world of zoology and serves as a testament to Haeckel's artistic talent. On the left side, we are introduced to the sea squirt, scientifically known as Ascidia. Its longitudinal section reveals an array of mesmerizing details that unravel its biological wonders. This invertebrate creature belonging to the cnidarian family has long fascinated scientists with its unique characteristics. On the right side, we encounter another intriguing creature -the lancelet or Brachiostoma (formerly Amphioxus). Through careful dissection and artistry, Haeckel unveils its anatomical intricacies that have captivated researchers for centuries. As a member of chordata, this small marine animal holds significant importance in understanding our own evolutionary history. The combination of historical significance and scientific precision makes this artwork an invaluable resource for anyone interested in marine biology or natural history. It is a visual feast that not only celebrates these extraordinary creatures but also pays homage to Ernst Haeckel's contribution to both art and science. Displayed proudly by Science Photo Library, this print invites us on an immersive journey through time and nature's wonders – reminding us once again of how interconnected all living beings truly are.
