Description

This meticulously detailed scientific illustration depicts an array of desmids — single-celled freshwater green algae — rendered in delicate greens, pinks, and cream against an off-white background. Each specimen is shown with extraordinary symmetry and botanical precision, revealing the radial and bilateral geometry of these microscopic organisms. The plate is captioned 'Desmidiea. – Bierdinge' and bears the header 'Haeckel, Kunstformen der Natur,' placing it within Ernst Haeckel's celebrated 1899–1904 publication that fused scientific observation with Art Nouveau aesthetics.
