Lebende Thierbilder : ein Ziehbilderbuch
A German pop-up and pull-tab picture book of living animals by Lothar Meggendorfer, published by Braun und Schneider in Munich in 1885 for young children. The four hand-coloured pictures show a goat eating from a rack, a deer under a fir tree with a squirrel above, sheep resting on a grassy slope, and a grey horse in harness beside a barn with pigeons. A designer could take from them the simple, flat, outlined colour style of late nineteenth-century children's animal illustration, with clear silhouettes and warm earth tones.
