Ernst Haeckel: Die Radiolarien
(RHIZOPODA RADIARIA)
Berlin, 1862

These are the 35 copper plates that accompanied Ernst Haeckel's Radiolaria book from 1862.
This volume has kindly been provided by Prof. Dr. Peter von Sengbusch (Institut für allgemeine Botanik, Hamburg, Germany).

I like to see large versions of prints and photographs. Just having small images misses much of what is in a print. This site provides you with large and really really large. The detail in these prints is really beautiful. Here is a detail of a really really large version of the above print.
