Unterhaltungen aus der Naturgeschichte
Unterhaltungen aus der Naturgeschichte is a hand-coloured natural history plate book by Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm, published in 1792 by the Engelbrechtische Kunsthandlung, likely for general readers interested in animals. Its plates show frogs and toads in lively poses, drawn with fine hatched outlines and washes of blue, green, brown and ochre on cream paper, a good model for naturalistic animal studies, field-guide style specimen layouts, or muted vintage palettes.
