Bilder aus dem Tierleben : ein Verwandlungsbilderbuch

Meggendorfer, Lothar, Beck, Julius · 1895 · Verlag von J. F. Schreiber · 14 pictures

A German children's picture book of animal scenes, published in 1895 by J. F. Schreiber and credited to Lothar Meggendorfer and Julius Beck, a 'transformation' book whose pages change images. The pictures are hand-coloured chromolithographs with bold outlines, flat saturated colour and simple rural backgrounds, showing a designer how to build a playful, friendly animal style with clear silhouettes and limited palettes.
