Poster of "Microscopic Algae, " after a 1904 lithograph by the German naturalist and artist Ernst Haeckel. Dimensions: 30 X 42 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, thick paper, 160 g. Shipped securely in a rigid package. This fascinating composition illustrates in detail single-celled algae from the Desmidia group, with astonishingly symmetrical forms, sometimes reminiscent of natural mandalas. Each specimen is depicted with great precision: one can distinguish serrated outlines, radiating patterns, and subtle variations of green, pink, and red, almost like abstract works. The central image draws the eye with its star-shaped structure and ribbed patterns, bordered by regularly spaced small red spheres. Overall, there is a highly graphic, organic aesthetic, making it a unique decorative piece. It would be suitable to accompany an antique microscope or to be displayed next to an illustrated biology book.
