Description

This plate from Ernst Haeckel's landmark 1904 scientific art book 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Art Forms in Nature) depicts an array of microscopic flagellate organisms rendered in exquisite engraved detail. The composition arranges nine numbered specimens across a cream-toned page, from delicate branching colonies to radially symmetrical clusters, revealing the extraordinary biological diversity of single-celled flagellates. The caption 'Flagellata — Geißlinge' identifies these as whip-tailed microorganisms, part of Haeckel's celebrated effort to reveal nature's hidden geometric beauty to a wide audience.
