Let this extraordinary watercolor inspire you to protect and cherish our precious marine ecosystems. Likely designed by James M. Sommerville and executed by Christian Schussele, this is one of the earliest American submarine illustrations, created expressly for lithographic reproduction. Schussele, the first professor in drawing and painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, was chiefly a genre, history painter, and portrait painter, yet his subject matter occasionally reflected Philadelphia’s scientific tradition, as in this watercolor. Take a moment to soak up the myriad forms of ocean life in this intricate work. How many underwater creatures can you spot? 🐠 James M.
