Jellyfish Anatomy Illustration - Ernst Haeckel’s Scientific Art #320151 (License: Personal Use)

This hand-colored lithograph, likely from Ernst Haeckel’s *Kunstformen der Natur* (1904), depicts four distinct scyphozoan jellyfish with meticulous attention to morphological detail-bell structures, gonads, manubria, and trailing tentacles rendered in soft blues, pinks, oranges, and yellows. The composition balances artistic elegance with taxonomic precision, reflecting late-19th-century marine biology’s fusion of science and aesthetics. Each specimen illustrates variation in medusa form, from bell-shaped to umbrella-like, emphasizing evolutionary diversity within the class Scyphozoa.
