The Square Book of Animals is a 1900 picture book of domestic animals by William Nicholson, with verses by Arthur Waugh, published in New York by R. H. Russell. The pictures are simple woodcut-style prints in two or three colours on a dark ground. A designer might take from them the bold silhouette and flat tonal blocks, with shapes reduced to a few cut outlines.
