Allerneuestes, naturhistorisches A-B-C- und Bilderbuch
An 1821 German natural history alphabet and picture book published by Basse, made for children learning letters and animal names. Its pictures are small, rough woodcut-style animal prints on cream paper, showing a fox-like animal, a saddled donkey, a goat and a spotted hyena-like beast, with simple outlines and sparse grass that a designer could use for naive, early-nineteenth-century animal vignettes.
