Gallerie der Menschen : ein Bilderbuch zur Erweiterung der Kenntnisse über Länder und Völker, vorzüglich für die Jugend zur Befriedigung ihrer Wißbegierde ; mit 30 illuminierte Kupfertafeln
Gallerie der Menschen is a 1804 illustrated picture book of peoples and countries, published by Konrad Adolf Hartleben and aimed at young readers in German-speaking lands, with 30 hand-coloured copperplates covering Europe, northern Asia, Egypt and beyond. The plates are small, tidy figure studies of costume and type, each captioned in German, showing men and women in regional dress with headwear, weapons and tools; a designer could draw on their crisp outlines, flat local colour and ethnographic clarity for editorial or period-themed work.
