Säugethiere No III
Säugethiere No III is an 1830 German plate of hand-coloured mammal studies, likely from a natural history series for students and collectors. The page groups a polar bear, a hyena, a sloth bear, a striped hyena, a honey badger and a few other species, each labelled in German and Latin. A designer might take its tidy grid of isolated animals on pale ground as a model for specimen-style layouts and bold botanical-style field guide plates.
