Neues Bilder-Buch, oder Sammlung interessanter Gegenden, Natur-Seltenheiten, Abbildungen aus merkwürdiger Völker und Thiere, größtenteils aus neuren Reisebeschreibungen gezogen
A German picture book of 1804 published by the Verlag der Typographischen Gesellschaft, assembling plates of landscapes, natural curiosities, peoples and animals drawn largely from recent travel accounts for a general readership. Its engraved plates are paired on each page with French and German captions, and the pictures show dogs, deer, and costumed figures set against plain outdoor backgrounds. A designer could take from them the tidy, schematic way the animals are isolated on blank ground with small grassy plinths, a useful model for simple specimen-style layouts.
