Description

This scientific illustration plate depicts a symmetrical arrangement of colonial green algae (Melethallia), rendered in meticulous detail with radial, star-burst, and honeycomb-like cellular forms in shades of green and cream. The plate is from Ernst Haeckel's landmark 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Art Forms in Nature), Tafel 14, a celebrated series published 1899–1904 that blended scientific rigor with ornamental Art Nouveau beauty. Each organism is shown in top-down view, revealing intricate geometric patterning that makes this a striking and botanically evocative print.
