Kleine Menagerie : Bilderbuch für kleine Kinder
Kleine Menagerie is a German picture book for small children, published in 1860 by C. C. Meinhold & Söhne in Dresden, with hand-coloured animal scenes captioned in German. Its four pictures show predator-prey confrontations between lions, reindeer, dingoes and tigers, each framed on a cream mount with a title line beneath. A designer could draw on the simple, legible composition and the naturalistic colour of these mid-nineteenth-century animal prints.
