About this artwork
This is plate 33 from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur, produced between 1899 and 1904. The page shows numbered drawings of bryozoans of the genus Flustra, arranged on a grey ground. The printed header and caption remain in view, and the aged paper margins give the plate the look of a book page that has been handled and kept. Haeckel was a zoologist and marine biologist as well as an artist, and the plate combines his scientific interest with careful, decorative composition.
On your wall: Suits a study, library, hallway or living room, where the muted grey ground and delicate natural forms sit well with calm, traditional or neutral interiors.
