Abhandlungen der Königlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Berlin
This is a collection of papers from the Royal Academy of Sciences in Berlin, published in Berlin in 1822 by the Realschul-Buchhandlung for a scholarly audience. The plates pair detailed natural history and anatomy engravings with a hand-coloured bird portrait and a red-figure style classical scene, showing the academy's mixed range of subjects. A designer might take from them the precise linework of 19th-century scientific plates, the restrained tonal palette, and the layout of numbered figure labels.
