Description

This plate from Ernst Haeckel's landmark scientific publication 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Art Forms in Nature) depicts an array of Sertulariae — feathery, branching marine hydrozoans — rendered with meticulous botanical-style precision in warm sepia and cream tones against an aged ivory background. The compositions range from delicate fan-like colonies to dense, cone-shaped plumes, showcasing Haeckel's celebrated fusion of scientific illustration and ornamental artistry. First published between 1899 and 1904, 'Kunstformen der Natur' became hugely influential on Art Nouveau design, and this plate (Tafel 25) is captioned in both Latin and German ('Sertulariae — Reihenstöckchen').
