Die belebte Welt : Bilderschau auf einer Reise durch das Wissenswürdigste für das Kindesalter ; als Anschauungsunterricht zusammengestellt von Hermann Hönncher
A German illustrated picture book of 1857 by Hermann Hönncher, published by C. H. Zeh'sche Buchhandlung, compiled as visual teaching for young children on the animal world. Its hand-coloured plates arrange single animals in small vignettes on blank paper, many with grass and rocky ground, with one plate of wild mammals from foreign lands. A designer could take the tidy grid layout, the soft painted outlines, and the way each creature is isolated on a pale ground for educational chart work.
