Brehms Tierleben : allgemeine Kunde des Tierreichs : mit 1800 Abbildungen im Text, 9 Karten und 180 Tafeln in Farbendruck und Holzschnitt
Brehms Tierleben is a German-language natural history encyclopedia of the animal kingdom, written by Alfred Brehm with later editors, published in Leipzig and Vienna in 1890 for a general educated readership. Its pictures are dark-ground and pale-line scientific plates of invertebrate anatomy, with lettered callouts, showing sea-creature forms in cutaway and profile, a style a designer might borrow for diagrammatic specimen art with labelled details.
