Buch der Welt, Sea Shells - BW 02
During the nineteenth century it was popular to produce encyclopedic natural histories covering many topics. One of these was published in Germany in the mid 1800’s and was titled “Das Buch der Welt” or The Book of the World. The publishers utilized steel plate engraving and the illustrations were hand colored with a bright palette different from many other works of the time. We are pleased to offer a few examples from this work. The 5x7 card is blank inside and comes with an accompanying envelope - shipping is free.
