Bertuch, Friedrich Justin, Bertuch, Carl · 1810 · 130 pictures

This is a volume of Bertuch's 1810 Bilderbuch für Kinder, a German picture book for children compiled by Friedrich Justin Bertuch and Carl Bertuch, held by Heidelberg University Library. Its hand-coloured plates show insects, exotic architecture, and figures in regional dress, with the insects drawn in close, accurate detail. A designer might take from them the crisp hand-colouring and the habit of pairing a single specimen or scene with a plain, numbered caption field.
