18th Century Drawings.
2000 © Jordi Corbera, Francesc Pagès, and Josep Maria Gili
The first illustrations on medusae are probably due to Rev. W. Borlase who published in 1758 his "Natural History of Cornwall". Several works on medusae were published during the second half of the 18th century, some with bad figures, others with very useful ones as those published by Forskal (1775). In 1809, Péron and Lesueur published "Tableau des caractères génériques et spécifiques de Meduses connues jusqu'à ce jour" but unfortunately the plates prepared by C. A. Lesueur remained unpublished (example below).
