Stunning full page illustrations
Bought as a source book for my daughter's sketching - so size and clarity of illustrations was critical. This book didn't disappoint - the range of illustrations is stunning, all full-page and beautifully reproduced.

Would have loved a couple of colour plates
Haeckel’s illustrations stand by themselves in terms of art/ creative inspiration as well as an illustrative documentary of the natural world. They are beautiful, extraordinary. I can use these as a prompt for my own artistic/ textiles work . Just a couple of colour plates would have been wonderful

really poorly printed
Print quality seems to be really poor. The thin pages are rippled and warped on arrival. The images lack the detail I have seen in other books with examples of his work. I think I'll be sending this one back.

Disappointing
I had to return this book as I was disappointed with the size and quality of print and plates.I was expecting the drawings to be large and of photographic quality but they are muzzy and seem rather out of focus. The colours seem muted and not at all vibrant and the detail obscured.I was hoping for Taschen quality but this is not. The pages seemed rippled too, as if stored in a damp atmosphere.A fascinating idea but poorly executed.
