Reproduction and Procreation - Dr. Ernst Teichmann - Stuttgart 1907

An original German natural science book from 1907, written by Dr. Ernst Teichmann and published in Stuttgart by Kosmos, Gesellschaft der Naturfreunde.

Fortpflanzung und Zeugung discusses the reproduction of living organisms from the scientific perspective of the early twentieth century. Through accessible texts and detailed black-and-white illustrations, topics such as reproductive cells, fertilization, and the development of various organisms are explored.

A notable feature of this edition is the richly illustrated title page in color, featuring flying insects, flowering branches, and a bird at its nest. The decorative design shows influences of Art Nouveau.

The original reddish-brown cloth binding, marbled page edges, and atmospheric endpapers with a starry sky-like motif have also been preserved.

Additionally, an old order card for Kosmos publications from 1907 is included at the back.

An attractive copy for enthusiasts of historical natural sciences, antique books, and early twentieth-century book design.
