Petite histoire naturelle ou Récréations à l'usage de la jeunesse
A French children's natural history primer titled Petite histoire naturelle, published in 1845 by E. Carey, with each page pairing a hand-coloured animal picture with a French caption and a page reference. The plates are small, simply framed and flatly coloured, showing elephants, sheep, a deer, a camel, a bear, a panther and a peacock in plain outline on pale ground, a naive style a designer could borrow for simple, friendly educational graphics.
