description The discipline of Oceanography might seem unlikely to harbor artistic work. However, the study of the ocean includes the study of marine organisms. Depictions of marine organisms appear in many reports of oceanographic expeditions, and some are undeniably works of art, jewels of scientific illustration. Here are exhibited a selection of plates from reports of early oceanographic expeditions held in the library of the Institut de la Mer de Villefranche. From the reports of the Challenger Expedition (1873-1876), the Campaigns of Albert 1er of Monaco (1885-1915), the Plankton-Expedition (1889) and the Deutsche Tiefsee-Expedition auf dem Dampfer ’Valdivia’ (1898-1899).
