(Erster Theil): Der Mensch. Der Affe. Der Maki. Die Fledermaus
A German natural history book by Johann Christian Daniel Schreber, published in 1775, on humans, apes, lemurs and bats, drawn from the Heidelberg University Library collection. The three pictures are small engraved headpieces of flowers, fruit and rococo scrollwork, with the vase-and-ornament panel showing the decorative vocabulary of its period that a designer could adapt for borders and dividers.
