Description
On the nexus of art and science, this dazzling new edition of Ernst Haeckel’s first work reintroduces the genius of an enigmatic scientist and passionate observer of the flora and fauna. Even though original editions of this book are extremely rare, it’s now to be had for the first time in a paperback edition, beautifully reproducing his drawings and watercolours. Whilst the variety and detail of Haeckel’s drawings display an impressive working out of biological structure, the skill with which Haeckel drew these tiny, aquatic protozoa renders them genuine artworks. This volume features remark and descriptions of every of the radiolarians from Haeckel’s work.
