Description

This striking lithographic plate from Ernst Haeckel's monumental scientific-art volume 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Art Forms in Nature, 1904) depicts Mycetozoa — slime moulds — rendered in meticulous black-and-white engraving against a deep black ground. Spherical fruiting bodies, branching stalks, and intricate surface textures are arranged with both scientific precision and extraordinary visual symmetry, blending natural history illustration with Art Nouveau aesthetics. Haeckel's 'Kunstformen der Natur' was a landmark publication that profoundly influenced Art Nouveau designers and architects worldwide and remains one of the most celebrated works of scientific illustration.
