Description

This intricate scientific illustration plate depicts a variety of flagellate microorganisms — single-celled aquatic creatures rendered with extraordinary botanical-like detail, each specimen labeled and arranged symmetrically across the page. The central figure shows a dramatic fan-shaped colony, surrounded by branching, tree-like, and globular forms that evoke the elegance of undersea flora. The plate is from Ernst Haeckel's celebrated 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Art Forms in Nature), a landmark 1899–1904 publication that merged scientific accuracy with ornamental Art Nouveau aesthetics and profoundly influenced artists and designers of the period.
