Die Erde, ihr Kleid, ihre Rinde und ihr Inneres : durch Karten und Zeichnungen zur Anschauung gebracht

Gressler, Friedrich Gustav Ludwig · 1859 · Schulbuchhandlung · 30 pictures

A German school geography and earth-science atlas of 1859 by Friedrich Gustav Ludwig Gressler, issued by a schoolbook publisher to teach the earth's surface, crust and interior through maps and drawings. Its pictures are fine black-line engravings: a tall palm-like tree, plant and fossil forms, a prehistoric crocodile-like reptile, and simple world maps with curving lines, which suggest ways to present scientific diagrams with clean outlines and restrained tinting.
