A reproduction of an image from Ernst Haeckel's book Kunstformen der Natur. Haeckel was a German zoologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist, and artist whose artwork includes over 100 detailed, multi-color illustrations of animals and sea creatures, collected in his Kunstformen der Natur ("Art Forms of Nature").
 
All of our reproductions are done on hand-processed paper, illuminated with gold paint and finished with beeswax, giving them a real parchment-like look. Actual colors may vary a bit due to different monitors displaying colors differently.
