Animate Creation is a late nineteenth-century popular natural history compiled from J. G. Wood's Our Living World, with contributions credited to Joseph B. Holder and Alfred Brehm, published in New York by Selmar Hess in 1898 for general readers. Its pictures are plain black-and-white wood engravings of reptiles, fish and amphibians shown in their habitats, with clear outlines, hatched shading and small reeds or rocks for setting, useful to a designer wanting simple vintage natural-history drawings.
