Deutsches Familienbuch in Bildern zum Anschauungs-Unterricht für die Jugend in Schule und Haus
A German illustrated natural history picture book for young readers, published in 1871 by Schreiber for classroom and home teaching. Its numbered plates show insects, mammals, fish and amphibians in hand-coloured engravings on cream paper, with each animal labelled by a small letter or number. A designer could draw on the clear, systematic plate layouts, the warm hand-tinted palette and the tidy specimen-style arrangement of animals spread across facing pages.
