Odontographie. Vergleichende Darstellung des Zahnsystemes der lebenden und fossilen Wirbelthiere
Odontographie is an 1855 comparative study of tooth systems in living and fossil vertebrates, written by Christian Gottfried Andreas Giebel and published in Leipzig by Ambrosius Abel for naturalists and zoologists. The plates show magnified tooth crowns, fossil molars and fragments drawn in fine graded pencil or engraved shading, with clear labelled figures. A designer might draw on their crisp serial arrangement of forms, their tonal modelling of ridged enamel, and the way numbered figures are placed across a page.
