Description

This exquisite scientific illustration from Ernst Haeckel's landmark 1904 work 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Art Forms in Nature) depicts a symmetrical arrangement of Ctenophorae — comb jellies — rendered in delicate blue ink on a warm cream ground. Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur was published in ten installments between 1899 and 1904 and remains celebrated for transforming biological illustration into high art, directly influencing Art Nouveau design. The plate showcases the graceful, ribbon-like forms and intricate cilia rows of these bioluminescent marine invertebrates, creating an elegant, almost botanical composition.
