Bechstein, Johann Matthäus · 1802 · 87 pictures

A hand-coloured German natural history volume by Johann Matthäus Bechstein, published in 1802 and held by Heidelberg University Library, aimed at naturalists and collectors. Its plates show moths, caterpillars, pupae and a hornbill, each specimen drawn in clean outline with flat watercolour tints on pale paper, offering a designer a model for precise scientific diagramming with labelled sequential stages.
