The Story Behind the Print
Tafel 26 from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (1904), published in 1904, titled Trachomedusae and captioned Kolbenquallen. The plate is a colour study of jellyfish in soft green and rose on cream paper.
Seven numbered jellyfish appear in cross-section and profile, with coiling, beaded tentacles. A round medusa seen from above sits at the centre with a six-pointed star at its middle and curling tentacles at the edges. Four bells seen from the side hang in the corners, trailing long, looped tentacles. A small figure at the top centre and a six-pointed, leaf-patterned star at the bottom complete the numbering.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using fade-resistant giclée printing with archival inks, preserving the detail and character of the original for generations.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
