Heart-shaped shells are seen end-on, others are fringed with spines or shown edge-on as narrow spindles, and at the centre a large diamond-shaped shell is ribbed outward from its seam. At the right a shell twists upward in deep ruffled lips, and two broad fan-shaped shells close the foot, one frilled along its ribs, one smooth. Plate 55 of Kunstformen der Natur, printed with its heading, Acephala.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: lithograph, plate 55 of Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), Leipzig, 1899–1904.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErnst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German zoologist and illustrator. He studied medicine in Berlin and Würzburg under Johannes Peter Müller, then turned from medical practice to zoology, becoming a professor at the University of Jena in 1862 and remaining there for 47 years. He is best known for Kunstformen der Natur (1899–1904), a hundred-plate compendium of radiolarians, jellyfish and other organisms rendered with a decorative symmetry that fed directly into Art Nouveau design, alongside his earlier scientific monographs on marine invertebrates. His work is preserved in Jena, at the Ernst-Haeckel-Haus and the Phyletic Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
