Description

This stunning scientific illustration plate depicts Desmidieae — single-celled freshwater green algae — rendered in meticulous symmetrical detail with intricate lobed and star-shaped forms in shades of green, pink, and coral against a warm cream ground. The plate is Tafel 24 from Ernst Haeckel's landmark 1904 work 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Art Forms in Nature), a series of 100 lithographic prints celebrating the geometric beauty of natural organisms that profoundly influenced Art Nouveau design. German captions 'Desmidieae – Zieralgen' (ornamental algae) appear beneath the composition, lending the piece an elegant vintage scientific-manuscript quality.
