Haeckel Art Forms in Nature Vintage Illustration Pack 3, 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: Hexacoralla Stony Corals (Plate 9), Fucoideae Brown Seaweeds (Plate 15), Discomedusae Blue Jellyfish (Plate 18), Pennatulida Sea Pens (Plate 19), Crinoidea Sea Lilies (Plate 20), Acanthometra Radiolarians (Plate 21), Trachomedusae Jellyfish (Plate 26), Ctenophorae Comb Jellies (Plate 27), Echinidea Sea Urchins (Plate 30), Leptomedusae Jellyfish (Plate 36), Siphonophorae Colonial Jellies (Plate 37), Polycyttaria Radiolarians (Plate 51), Filicinae Ferns (Plate 52), Siphonophorae Pink Colonial Jellies (Plate 59), Lichenes Lichens (Plate 83), Decapoda Crabs (Plate 86).

Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized: about 7,200–7,500 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.
