Stereoscopic microphotograph [head of a bee]
From a series of 20 stereoscopic microphotographs ('Mikroplast' images) on zoology and botany, provided in original bromide photographs in high gloss. The image shows the head of a bee seen from the front, one can easily recognize the antennas and the mandibles folded out (Fig. 1, Brehm 1869).

The picture is taken from a comprehensive catalogue for the latest teaching aids for schools, from primary schools up to higher eduction, that was published annually from 1892 to 1914 in Germany.
