The illustration: Orchidae-Venus Flowers from the publication: Art Forms in Nature (1899-1904), edited by Ernst Haeckel.
The encyclopedia contains 100 prints with illustrated plates depicting various organisms, most of which were described by Haeckel for the very first time. The artistic execution of the figures was carried out by the lithographer and print shop owner Adolf Giltsch after Haeckel’s hand drawings.
The resulting images show ‘art forms of nature’ often rich in saturated colors and of a graphic – somehow abstract – and at the same time fantastic opulence. We find that this timeless, graphic quality is particularly emphasized by the frameless cropping of the motifs. Our choice would be a (black) frame with a really narrow profile.
We also offer this Xeuxis edition as acrylic glass prints, which are particularly suitable for completely frameless hanging.
Framed or as acrylic glass print – this edition is particularly suitable for putting together series of two, three or larger.
Therefore, a 20% discount applies when ordering two or more prints from this series. Additionally, the posting charge stays at our flat rate.
