Naturgeschichte der Vögel : Ein Anschauungs-Unterricht für Schule und Haus, 248 colorirte Abbildungen auf 20 Doppelfolio-Tafeln, 1 Tafel Eier und Nester und 25 Holzschnitte
A German natural history of birds by Christian Friedrich August Kolb, published in Stuttgart in 1890 as an illustrated teaching book for schools and homes. Its colored plates arrange many species side by side, each numbered and labelled with German and Latin names. A designer could draw on the tidy grid of numbered specimens, the lively plumage colours, and the naturalistic perched and wading poses.
