Vögel
A German Bilderbogen, a sheet of printed pictures from 1895 titled Vögel, offering a grid of labelled birds for children to learn from. The sheet shows dozens of small, individually framed, hand-coloured bird portraits, each captioned in German, with a plain tan ground; a designer could draw on its tidy taxonomic grid, the bright colour blocking and the way each species is isolated in its own box.
