Ernst Haeckel Ascidiae Sea Squirts Plate 85 Vintage Marine Biology Poster
Haeckel’s dramatic black-ground plate of sea squirts (Ascidiae), a riot of jewel-toned marine organisms in symmetrical arrangement.
Description
Plate 85 "Ascidiae – Seescheiden" (Cynthia) from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur sets jewel-toned sea squirts and tunicates against a deep black ground, making their coral, teal, and gold patterns glow. Published in 1904, this striking marine biology illustration is one of Haeckel's most decorative works, prized for its near-abstract symmetry. Ideal for modern interiors that love bold color, ocean themes, or historic scientific art.
