Description

This intricate scientific plate depicts a variety of ctenophores — commonly known as comb jellies — rendered in delicate blue ink on cream paper, showcasing their ornate ciliary combs, trailing tentacles, and transparent bell-shaped bodies in extraordinary detail. The work is Plate 17 from Ernst Haeckel's landmark publication 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Art Forms in Nature), first issued between 1899 and 1904, which blended rigorous natural science with Art Nouveau aesthetics and profoundly influenced design and illustration. The caption 'Ctenophorae – Kammquallen' identifies the subject as comb jellies, a phylum of marine invertebrates found in ocean waters worldwide.
