(Band 4): Die Phaeodarien oder Cannopyleen Radiolarien
Haeckel's 1888 plate volume on Phaeodarian radiolarians, a German-language scientific atlas published in Germany for zoologists and naturalists. Its engraved plates show microscopic single-celled sea organisms in precise, labelled line drawings, with numbered figures and pale tonal shading. A designer might draw on the symmetrical lattice shells, radiating spines and star-like skeletons as organic patterns for textiles, tiles or wallpaper.
