Großes Tierbilderbuch : 12 Farbdruckbilder mit illustriertem Text
A German picture book of farm animals, Großes Tierbilderbuch, made by Christian Votteler and published in 1890 by Wilh. Effenberger for children, with twelve colour prints and rhymed text. The pictures show sheep, a cow with calf, a rooster and hen, and turkeys and chicks, drawn in two styles: soft painted colour plates with grassy backgrounds and brown-toned sketched wood engravings on cream paper. A designer could take the clear, friendly poses of farm stock and the contrast between painted colour and loose sepia line work.
