Haeckel Art Forms in Nature Vintage Illustration Pack 5, 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: Tetracoralla Rugose Corals (Plate 29), Bryozoa Moss Animals (Plate 33), Gorgonida Soft Corals (Plate 39), Acanthophracta Radiolarians (Plate 41), Aspidonia Shield Animals (Plate 47), Acephala Bivalves (Plate 55), Cirripedia Barnacles (Plate 57), Echinidea Sea Urchins (Plate 60), Basimycetes Mushrooms (Plate 63), Ascomycetes Sac Fungi (Plate 73), Thoracostraca Crustaceans (Plate 76), Cystoidea Bladder Stars (Plate 90), Spumellaria Radiolarians (Plate 91), Mycetozoa Slime Molds (Plate 93), Amphoridea Cystoids (Plate 95), Spirobranchia Spiral Worms (Plate 97).

Print size: Full-size original museum and library scans, never resized: about 7,300–7,500 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.

Files: 16 high-resolution JPGs, about 7,300–7,500 px on the long edge (267 MB total), delivered as one zip download.
