Bertuch, Friedrich Justin, Bertuch, Carl · 1821 · 139 pictures

This is volume 10 of a natural history picture book issued in 1821 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch and Carl Bertuch in Germany, aimed at general readers and students. The hand-coloured plates in this volume show mosses, fish, a tortoise and birds, drawn in clear outline with numbered figures and careful shading. A designer could take the orderly plate layouts, numbered callouts and muted earth-toned palette as a model for scientific-style chart pages.
