In 1904, Ernst Haeckel published the final plates of Kunstformen der Natur — Art Forms in Nature — with master lithographer Adolf Giltsch, creating chromolithographs that transformed microscopic organisms into art and helped inspire the Art Nouveau movement across Europe. The front cover presents Plate 34 (Melethallia): star-shaped colonial Pediastrum algae in intricate geometric formations; the back cover presents Plate 64 (Siphoneae): Caulerpa tube-shaped multi-nucleated green algae rendered with the microscopic precision that defined Haeckel’s scientific illustration — published by the Bibliographisches Institut, Leipzig.
