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 natural history encyclopedia of the animal kingdom by Alfred Edmund Brehm with later editors, published in Leipzig and Vienna by the Bibliographisches Institut in 1890 for a general readership. Its pictures are black-and-white wood engravings of primates, civets and a genet-like cat shown in naturalistic poses, with fine hatched linework that a designer could study for tonal modelling and animal anatomy.
