Vater Gotthold's Unterhaltungen mit seinen Kindern über das Thierreich : mit vielen sauberen Abbildungen
Vater Gotthold's Unterhaltungen mit seinen Kindern über das Thierreich is a German natural history primer of 1839, published by Bagel for children, in the form of conversations between a father and his children about the animal kingdom. Its pages are numbered plates of engraved animals, shown in rotated sheets with a small figure number beside each creature, mostly mammals, birds, reptiles and fish, drawn in fine black line with light shading on a cream ground, a useful reference for designers wanting period zoological figures arranged in loose clusters.
