Neues Thierbilderbuch
A German-language picture book of animal scenes, produced by Fr. Eugen Köhler with illustrations credited to Gustav Süs and August Köhler, aimed at children and printed with French verse beneath each hand-coloured plate. The pictures show pigeons at a stream, a dog and a sparrow scene by a village, ducks and geese squabbling by a mill, and roosters fighting in a farmyard. A designer might take the bright flat colour, the framed text panels set into foliage, and the rustic village settings as a model for naive, storybook-style animal art.
