"Ostracion teleosts Pl42" is a lithographic plate from the seminal work "Kunstformen der Natur" (Art Forms in Nature) by German biologist, naturalist, and artist Ernst Haeckel. Published in sets between 1899 and 1904, "Kunstformen der Natur" consists of 100 plates of various organisms, many of which were first described by Haeckel himself. The collection showcases Haeckel's artistic skill and his fascination with the symmetry and organization found in natural forms.

The plate "Ostracion teleosts Pl42" specifically depicts a variety of boxfishes, which are members of the family Ostraciidae within the class Actinopterygii, the ray-finned fishes. These teleosts are known for their distinctive box-like shape due to their hard carapace made of fused scales, which serves as a protective armor. Haeckel's illustration captures the intricate patterns and geometric structures of these fishes, reflecting his interest in the underlying principles of morphology and his attempt to present the natural world as aesthetically pleasing.

Haeckel's work, including "Ostracion teleosts Pl42," has been influential not only in the field of biology but also in the arts, particularly the Art Nouveau movement. His detailed drawings emphasized the connections between science and art, highlighting the beauty of biological forms and their evolutionary significance. "Kunstformen der Natur" continues to be celebrated for its scientific accuracy and its artistic elegance, and it has been reprinted multiple times due to its enduring popularity.

The "Ostracion teleosts Pl42" plate, like the rest of the "Kunstformen der Natur," serves as a testament to Haeckel's dual legacy as both a scientist and an artist. It remains a valuable resource for those interested in the intersection of art and science, as well as for those studying the morphology and diversity of marine life.
