这些可爱的生物在进行滑行、游泳、翱翔，它们都是根据19世纪罕见的德国作品集改编而成。这些色彩斑斓的图片包括奇异的鸟和鱼，引人注目的爬行动物和两栖动物，以及许多凶猛的龙。这本书对古色古香的书卷进行了新的布局，将原来的插图放大了，这些插图放大了羽毛、鳍、鳞片和其他奇妙的特征。这些大图的多样性使本书成为各种图形和艺术参考的完美资源。

这本精心复制的珍奇动物图集，是自1896年第一版以来，安东·塞德的动物寓言集的第一次再版。这位来自慕尼黑的画家最著名的作品是《艺术与贸易中的植物》(Die Pflanze in Kunst und Gewerbe)，他将植物与装饰图案结合在一起，还有《装饰艺术中的动物》(Das his in Der Decorativen Kunst)，它同样将动物和神话中的龙融入装饰主题。设计师、艺术家和手工艺者将欣赏Seder富有想象力的作品，以及他们杰出的设计与敏锐的自然观察的独特结合。

Fanciful creatures slither, swim, and soar through this full-color adaptation of a rare 19th-century German portfolio. The colorful images include exotic birds and fishes, dramatic reptiles and amphibians, and scores of ferocious dragons. This new layout of a hard-to-find antique volume presents enlargements of the original illustrations that offer magnified details of stylized feathers, fins, scales, and other fantastic features. The tremendous variety of these images makes this volume a perfect resource for all manner of graphics and art reference.

This meticulously reproduced collection of fanciful creatures represents the first republication of Anton Seder's bestiary since the original 1896 edition. The Munich-based painter is best known for Die Pflanze in Kunst und Gewerbe (The Plant in Art and Trade), which incorporated plants into decorative patterns, and Das Thier in Der Decorativen Kunst (Animals in Decorative Art), which similarly integrated animals and mythical dragons into ornamental motifs. Designers, artists, and crafters will appreciate Seder's imaginative works and their distinctive combination of outstanding designs with keen observations of nature.

慕尼黑画家Anton Seder是1890年成立的装饰艺术学院(Ecole Superieure des Arts College of装饰性Arts)的首任院长，他在该学院工作到1920年。斯特拉斯堡在1871年被法国割让给德国，1918年被归还给法国;因此，文化环境受到法国和德国的影响。

他与人合编了《埃尔萨斯洛林的艺术与工艺》杂志。设计也包括在许多装饰艺术设计期刊中，作为彩色平版印刷发行。Seder最著名的独立作品是Die Pflanze in Kunst und Gewerbe(艺术和贸易中的植物)，它将植物纳入装饰主题，以及Das thy in Der Decorativen Kunst(装饰艺术中的动物)，同样将动物和神话中的龙纳入装饰主题。

Munich painter Anton Seder was the first director of the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (College of Decorative Arts), founded in 1890, where he served until 1920. Strasbourg had been ceded by France to Germany in 1871 and was returned to France in 1918; therefore, the cultural environment was a mixture of French and German influences.

Seder co-edited the magazine Das Kunstgewerbe in Elsass-Lothringen (The Arts and Crafts in Alsace-Lorraine). His designs were also included in many periodicals of decorative arts designs, issued as chromolithographs. Seder's best known separate works are Die Pflanze in Kunst und Gewerbe (The Plant in Art and Trade), which incorporated plants into decorative motifs, and Das Thier in Der Decorativen Kunst (Animals in Decorative Art), similarly incorporating animals and mythical dragons into decorative motifs.
