Haustiere
Haustiere is a German natural history plate book of 1835 showing domestic animals, likely made for schoolchildren and general readers. The pictures are hand-coloured lithographs of cattle, goats, sheep, a donkey, a horse, a dog and a cat set against plain cream grounds with small grassy patches. A designer could take their soft shading, muted earth palette and clean isolated animal poses for vintage educational graphics.
