needsmoreresearch:weirdchristmas:weirdchristmas:Merry Chris-oh shit the acid just kicked inThank you! (And thanks for resending it. I don’t know how I deleted it between posting and replying.) These jellyfish cards are things of beauty. They were done by a Victorian biologist and illustrator named Ernst Haekel early in his career when he needed some cash. But…who the hell was the audience!?!? I think I’ve got most of them stashed away by now, and you’ll absolutely see more in the feed.Here’s a bit more about him if you’re curious:http://www.kuriositas.com/2012/01/art-forms-of-nature-ernst-haeckel.htmloh my god haekel made christmas cardsWhile it would be entertaining to believe, this is in fact one of Haeckel’s jellyfish photoshopped onto a victorian christmas card, I am sorry to say. Still cool looking, but not something he created! -- source link
