The naturalist's library : containing scientific and popular descriptions of man, quadrupeds, birds, fishes, reptiles and insects
The naturalist's library is a natural history compendium of zoology covering man, quadrupeds, birds, fishes, reptiles and insects, published in Boston by Phillips, Sampson, and Company in 1854 with text by Augustus A. Gould. Its engravings show animals in plain outline, mostly in side profile against blank paper, with little background; a designer could take their clean, economical line work as a model for simple wildlife icons.
