A Peep At The Beasts: With Early Engravings (1851) by Francis Channing Woodworth is a book that provides an introduction to various animals through a collection of engravings. The book is a part of the ''Peep At'' series, which was popular in the mid-19th century and aimed at educating children about the world around them. The book contains 24 engravings of different animals, including lions, tigers, elephants, bears, and monkeys. Each engraving is accompanied by a short description of the animal, its habitat, and its behavior. The descriptions are written in a simple and accessible language, making it easy for young readers to understand. The engravings in the book are particularly noteworthy as they are some of the earliest examples of animal illustrations in children’s literature. They are beautifully detailed and capture the essence of each animal in a way that is both realistic and engaging. Overall, A Peep At The Beasts is a charming and informative book that provides a glimpse into the world of animals through the eyes of a child.
