A fabulous collection of Ernst Haeckel prints, both in colour and monochrome. These 20th-century marine life illustrations are works of art.

Tetracoralla; a subclass or other group of Paleozoic corals in which the septa when present are usually in multiples of four and of which many are solitary and cornucopia-shaped and sometimes attain large size. This fascinating Natural History reprint is from 1998, reproducing the very early engravings taken from nature by Ernst Haeckel himself; originally printed in the Victorian Era in Leipzig, Germany. Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel 1834 –1919 was an eminent German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor, and artist who discovered, described, and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and coined many terms in biology, including anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, and the kingdom Protista. Haeckel promoted and popularized Charles Darwin's work in Germany and developed the controversial recapitulation theory ("ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny") claiming that an individual organism's biological development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarizes its species' evolutionary development, or phylogeny. The published artwork of Haeckel; 'Kunstformen der Natur' includes over 100 detailed, multi-color illustrations of animals and sea creatures. 'Coral Formations' is printed on heavy quality satin finish card-paper stock. It measures a generous 9.25" x 12.25" overall with one-inch snowy white borders all around. It's in excellent condition; no tears, folds, creases, or marks... a fabulous print perfect for framing. There's another equally fascinating illustration of sand dollars on the reverse side. You may have a bit of trouble deciding which of these lovely prints to frame first. I'll leave that choice up to you. Matted, framed, and displayed as a gallery grouping, these wonderful natural history prints are simply spectacular. (Please note that the framed examples in the last photo are just to show how this might look when it's framed. Your print will come to you unmatted and unframed.)

Stories of unappreciated artistic genius always strike a chord, and The Temple of Flora – the unpublished final work of Robert John Thornton from the late 18th century, is no exception. The incredible images, set in weird and wonderful, sometimes epic settings, are stunning, slightly surreal, and totally romantic. Often combined with poetic odes to […]
