This 1795 German-language volume, issued by the Neue Societäts-Verlags-Buchhandlung and edited by Johann Daniel Friedrich Rumpf, Wilhelm Oehmigke and Gottfried Hayn, is a hand-coloured ethnographic and geographic plate book for general readers. Its engravings pair costumed figures from different peoples with landscapes, boats, dwellings and animals, each numbered and captioned with small plate labels. A designer could draw on the neat numbered layouts, the muted hand-coloured washes and the vignette-style framing of figures against terrain.
