Ernst Haeckel – philosopher, professor, physician, naturalist, biologist and artist. The pinnacle of his work – “Art Forms of Nature” – began publication in 1899 and is still an astonishing record of life on earth. This book contains 100 beautiful lithographic plates in black and white which show a multitude of unusual forms.
