Tierbüchlein : Bilderbuch für artige Kinder. Nach Originalzeichnungen von Gustav Süs. Verse von W. Emil Stephan
A German picture book of 1885, a colour-printed children's book of animal scenes for well-behaved children, drawn by Gustav Süs with verses by W. Emil Stephan and published by E. E. Meinhold & Söhne. The pages show animals in lively, naturalistic scenes with rhyming German text set into the picture area, and a designer could take from them the rounded, storybook charm of 19th-century chromolithographic animal drawing, with its warm earth tones, soft greens and playful compositions.
