Ernst Haeckel Radiolarians Prints for Sale

Ernst Haeckel
Siphonophorae
& Deep Sea Medusae

These striking color and black-and-white lithographs are cut from the Report on the Scientific Results of the Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger During the Years 1873-76 under the Command of Captain George S. Nares, R.N., F.R.S. and the late Captain Frank Tourle Thomson, R.N. Prepared under the Superintendence of the late Sir C. Wyville Thomson. These plates are printed on heavy stock and have minimal age toning. Note that many of the following plates have a water stain, ranging from light to heavy in one or more of the margins--but in almost all cases, the stain does not impinge on the image area. The condition of each plate is described under the larger photo. The lithography by E. Giltsch, Jena .

Size: 12.5 x 9.75 inches

The plates were drawn by the celebrated zoologist and artist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919), who promoted Darwinian theory in Germany, much as Thomas Huxley did in England. Though trained as a medical doctor, Ernst Haeckel, was drawn to zoology when he began studying Radiolaria on a visit to Messina. Before long, he was reading Darwin's Origin of the Species (1859), going on to receive a doctorate in zoology from Jena (1861). He remained at that university for the rest of his teaching life, first as lecturer, later as full professor. As an artist and an expert on marine invertebrates, Haeckel was commissioned to illustrate the radiolarians encountered during the Challenger expedition.
