Description

This antique scientific illustration from Ernst Haeckel's celebrated 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Art Forms in Nature) depicts a detailed arrangement of Bryozoa — tiny colonial aquatic invertebrates commonly known as moss animals or 'Moostiere' in German. The plate showcases multiple species rendered in delicate greens, creams, and warm amber tones, displaying their fan-like, feathery feeding structures (lophophores) and branching colony forms with meticulous botanical precision. Published originally around 1899–1904, Haeckel's lithographic plates set the standard for scientific natural history illustration and remain iconic examples of Art Nouveau biological art.
