Ernst Haeckel



Plates from renowned (for better or worse at times) scientist and artist Ernst Haekel. One can't broach the subject of gentleman scientists without his mention. These illustrations are from Dr. Haekel's 1862 monograph, Die Radiolarien. The report covered new species of radiolarian, marine protozoa characterized by their elaborate mineral skeletons.
