One of the hundred plates of "Art Forms in Nature", published by the biologist Ernst Haeckel in 1904: sea anemones in every colour arranged in symmetry. A scientific atlas that reads like Art Nouveau ornament, it inspired architects and designers of the day. The repeating colours and shapes make it an intriguing puzzle.
