Image title
Pennatula phosphorescent or sea feather. Copper engraving by Frederick Polydor Nodder (1751-1801), George Shaw's illustration for the naturalist collection, published in 1790 by George Shaw. Phosphoric pennatula or sea pen. Pennatula phosphorea. Pink sea pen, a colonial marine cnidarian, named for their resemblance to feather quill pens. This curious animal emits a very strong phosphoric light, and it is even so luminous that is no uncommon circumstance for the fishermen to see the fish which happen to be swimming near it, merely by the light of the pennatula.” Handcolored copperplate engraving, illustration signed S (George Shaw) from George Shaw's “” Naturalist's Miscellany”” (1790).
