(Band 2, Fortsetzung): Fortsetzungen der Pflanzenthiere
Esper's 1806 continuation volume of plant-animal studies, a German natural history plate book of sponges and related organisms, published in Germany for naturalists and scientific readers. The hand-coloured plates show branching, lobed and encrusting forms in warm brown tones, which a designer could draw on for organic textures, coral-like silhouettes and naturalistic pattern.
