Wunderbilder, gesammelt auf Streifereien im Natur- und Kunstgebiete und dem reiferen Jugendalter zur Belehrung und Unterhaltung in einzelnen Zweigen der Naturlehre, Geschichte und Erdbeschreibung gewidmet
Wunderbilder, published in Eisenach in 1837 by Heinrich Eduard Maukisch and Christian Gottfried Heinrich Geißler, is a German picture book of natural wonders, history and geography for older youths. Its plates are hand-coloured engravings, some framed in numbered pairs, showing a steamship, a leaning tower, a geyser, a suspension bridge, an erupting volcano and ruined colonnades; a designer could borrow their compact layered compositions and the period's hand-tinted palette for educational layouts.
