(Tafelband 2): Theil 4 - 7 und Supplement 3 u. 4: Taf. CLXVI - CCCLXXXIV
This is a German natural history plate volume of mammals, compiled by Johann Christian Daniel Schreber and published in 1792 in the Heidelberg University Library's holdings. The hand-coloured plates show animals in simple landscape settings, with the pictures here including a vole, a chamois-like goat, a doe-like antelope and a shrew-like mammal. A designer might take from them the sparse ground cover, soft tonal shading and muted earth-green palette typical of early scientific animal illustration.
