Abhandlungen der Königlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Berlin
An 1822 volume of transactions from the Royal Academy of Sciences in Berlin, published by the Realschul-Buchhandlung for scholars and learned readers. The first plate shows scallop and clam-like shells drawn in fine hatched shading, with numbered figures in several views. The second shows two inscribed stone tablets with Greek letters and numbers 96 and 97, drawn as plain outlined blocks. A designer could take the hatched shell forms as clean botanical-style study drawings, and the set of numbered tablets as a simple type-and-frame layout.
