Description: Discover Ernst Haeckel, the 19th-century artist-biologist who found beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures. This collection features over 450 prints from his most important publications, including the majestic Kunstformen der Natur. As biodiversity is ever-more threatened, these images are a scientific, artistic, and environmental masterwork.
