Haeckel Art Forms in Nature Vintage Illustration Pack 2, 16 Printable Plates

A themed pack of 16 printable vintage plates from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature, 1899–1904), his famous book of jellyfish, sea creatures, moths, mosses and other natural forms, made for junk journals, scrapbooking, card making, collage, decoupage and paper crafts. Print them at home, cut them out and layer them into your projects. The files are full-size original scans, so they are also big enough to frame as wall art.

Plates included: Siphonophorae Colonial Jellies (Plate 7), Bryozoa Moss Animals (Plate 23), Discomedusae Jellyfish (Plate 28), Peromedusae Crown Jellyfish (Plate 38), Nudibranchia Sea Slugs (Plate 43), Anthomedusae Flower Jellyfish (Plate 46), Thuroidea Sea Cucumbers (Plate 50), Gamochonia Octopuses (Plate 54), Copepoda Copepods (Plate 56), Tineida Moths (Plate 58), Chiroptera Bats (Plate 67), Siphonophorae Green Colonial Jellies (Plate 77), Hepaticae Liverworts (Plate 82), Teleostei Seamoths (Plate 87), Discomedusae Green Jellyfish (Plate 88), Antilopina Antelopes (Plate 100).

Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized: about 7,300–7,900 px on the long edge. Every plate prints sharp up to about 16 × 24 in at 300 dpi (based on the smallest plate; most go larger), and down to A4, US Letter or A5 with no loss. The shapes vary slightly because they're original book pages.
