Die Welt in Bildern : Eine Festgabe für Kinder
Die Welt in Bildern is a German illustrated children's book of natural history published in 1844 by Schmidt & Spring as a gift for young readers. Its pages are rows of small hand-coloured plates arranged like specimen charts, grouping mammals, fishes, invertebrates and birds with numbered labels. A designer could take the tidy grid layout, the soft watercolour tints on cream paper, and the way many unrelated creatures share one page.
