Thierbilderbuch : mit heitern Reimen für die Jugend
Thierbilderbuch is a German picture book for children of the young, with cheerful rhymes, by Karl Votteler, published in Stuttgart by Wilhelm Nitzschke in 1865. Its pages are hand-coloured animal plates with numbered captions and short verses beneath, such as a bear, a buffalo hunt on horseback and a row of animals with a rhyme for each. A designer could borrow the tidy numbered label system and the lively, slightly naive colour of the animal studies.
