Das Museum der Tiere

Free admission! The meticulously detailed illustrations at the highest level make this volume a very special gift book. The art of illustration meets the beauty of the animal world and together they create an extraordinary picture book in the tradition of Maria Sibylla Merian and Ernst Haeckel. More than 200 animals are shown on large-format tableaux with lovingly, carefully drawn illustrations - just like in a natural history museum - and explained in short accompanying texts. Each chapter deals with a different species: invertebrates, reptiles, birds, fish, mammals ... The colour plates impress with their naturalness, precise details and Art Nouveau-style aesthetics. A wonderful picture book for every age!
