Illustrierte Mineralogie
Illustrierte Mineralogie, a German mineralogy textbook by Adolf Kenngott and Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert, published in Esslingen near Stuttgart in 1888 for students and general readers of mineral science. Its plates are numbered chromolithographs and engravings of crystal forms, cleavage shapes and mineral specimens, drawn with clear outlines and colour-coded minerals. A designer could borrow the systematic plate layout, the crisp geometric line drawings and the warm ochre paper tones.
