Neuestes ABC-Syllabir- und Lesebuch : für Kinder aller Stände ; nach der Methode des Gutmanns
This is an 1801 German alphabet and reading primer by Gotthilf Anton Eberhard, published by Leo, aimed at children of all social ranks and following the method of Gutmann. The hand-coloured plates are numbered natural-history studies of animals and birds on tinted paper, arranged in framed sections with a plain, schematic layout. A designer could draw on their clear, catalogue-style arrangement of mammals, reptiles and birds as a model for educational charts or field-guide diagrams.
