Versuch einer Anleitung zur Kenntniss und Geschichte der Thiere und Mineralien : für akademische Vorlesungen entworfen, und mit den nöthigsten Abbildungen versehen
A German textbook of zoology and mineralogy written by August Johann Georg Karl Batsch and published at Jena in 1788 as a guide for his university lectures. The plates are narrow vertical strips of numbered outline engravings—fish, snakes and lizards, perching birds, deer, rhinoceros, hyena, bear—each drawn in thin unshaded contour on a small patch of ground, useful as clean animal silhouettes, stacked figure arrangements, and numbered-diagram layouts.
