The image is a vintage scientific illustration of living corals with expanded polyps. It's a black and white drawing on a cream-colored background. There are three distinct coral formations depicted. 1. The top left shows a rounded, almost cushion-like coral with a dense surface texture. 2. The top right shows a branching coral structure, appearing as two connected, irregular masses. 3. The largest and most detailed coral is at the bottom. It's a large, rounded mass covered in numerous small, flower-like polyps. Each polyp is clearly defined with a central opening and surrounding tentacles. The polyps create a textured, almost fuzzy appearance. Below the illustrations, the text reads "LIVING CORALS. WITH EXPANDED POLYPS." At the bottom left corner, it says "W. Saville-Kent, Photo." and at the bottom right corner, it says "London Stereoscopic Co. Rep." The style is reminiscent of late 19th or early 20th-century scientific illustrations, with a focus on detailed observation and accurate representation.
