A plate from Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), the German naturalist’s magnum opus of biological illustration. Haeckel’s plates — symmetrical, ornamental, drawn with the precision of a scientific draughtsman and the eye of an Art Nouveau designer — set the standard for the marriage of science and ornament in the early twentieth century.
