Bertuch, Friedrich Justin, Bertuch, Carl · 1795 · 173 pictures

This is a volume of hand-coloured copperplate natural history engravings from Friedrich Justin Bertuch and Carl Bertuch, published in Weimar in 1795 for a German readership interested in zoology and the natural world. The plates show mammals drawn in profile or three-quarter view on simple ground lines, with numbered captions in the upper area. A designer could draw on their crisp outlines, muted earth tones, and stippled fur textures for botanical or field-guide style layouts.
