WAGNER, Hermann
Zonen-Bilder.
Julius Hoffmann, circa Stuttgart, 1890. Oblong folio, 20 tinted lithograph plates; some restoration, general embrowning, and signs of use, but good in later cloth with original pictorial label, endpapers renewed. A rare nineteenth-century German colourplate natural history of the world for children. Each of twenty countries throughout Europe, Asia, America and Africa is described with two pages of text and a large colour plate by the noted nineteenth-century German artist and book illustrator Heinrich Leutemann (1824-1905).
Most of the plates depict highly dramatic hunting scenes: either man hunting the animals, such as Indians on elephant back hunting tigers, or animals hunting and devouring other animals, such as lions eating buffalo and bison attacking bears. The final plate depicts three Australian Aboriginal hunters hiding from two rock wallabies which are pursued by a pack of dingoes. Their catch of a lyrebird, a platypus, a black swan and an emu are portrayed in the foreground.
