Ok, so I found out what this book is. it is Brehm's Life of Animals: volume 1, mammals. 1868, in German. My Swiss ancestors were readers.
Anybody read German? This is one of my ancestral books. Again, this is what happens when you have a Swiss man marrying a New Orleans French-Creole Belle in your family tree but you have a 20th century Louisiana public school education. You have books in languages you can't read.
