Kunstformen der Natur

The beautiful plates from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (1904) are in the public domain. There are rather high resolution pictures there, but apparently nobody turned them into zoomable images. I had to do it, it really changes the viewing experience. An index can be found here. Below, the plate number 31 depicting Cyrtoidea, apparently a type of radiolarians.
