Große Thierbilder
Große Thierbilder is a German picture book of animal chromolithographs published by Jos Scholz in 1880, aimed at general readers and children learning natural history. Its plates group animals by kind, such as mammals, birds, reptiles and insects, each set against a painted landscape. A designer could draw on the bright, saturated colour and the tidy arrangement of many species on one plate for botanical or zoological layouts.
