"Mollusca grøndlandia, tavle I" is an anonymous 19th-century print depicting a variety of Greenlandic mollusk shells. The detailed black and white engraving showcases the intricate textures and shapes of these marine creatures. The scientific nature of the piece suggests it may have been part of a larger collection of natural history illustrations. The artwork, held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the scientific study of marine life during this period.
