Description
This antique scientific illustration plate depicts an array of Sertularian hydrozoans — colonial marine organisms once classified among 'sea ferns' — rendered in precise botanical-style draftsmanship with delicate gold-tan ink on a cream ground. The composition arranges multiple specimens across the page, each showing branching polyp colonies, bell-shaped medusae, and tubular structures in meticulous detail. The plate is captioned 'Sertulariae – Reihenpolypen' in German and bears the header 'Haeckel, Kunstformen der Natur,' identifying it as from Ernst Haeckel's landmark 1899–1904 illustrated work 'Art Forms in Nature,' one of the most influential scientific and decorative print series of the 19th century.
