Naturgeschichtliches ABC Säugethiere
Naturgeschichtliches ABC Säugethiere is a German alphabet primer of mammals published by Scholz in 1860, meant for children learning letters through animal pictures. Its hand-coloured framed plates pair each letter with a mammal such as an antelope, bear, elephant, fox, ibex, tiger, rhinoceros, gorilla and zebra. A designer could take the boxed grid layout, the bold black letter captions and the naive, lightly tinted animal illustrations as a model for educational charts or playful typographic panels.
