Panel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A picture board is a compilation of individual pictures on a page. It can be (colored) drawings , but also grouped photos . Picture boards are used for teaching and illustration . Picture boards are usually themed. You can find them in reference works such as encyclopedias , technical lexica , picture dictionaries and identification books . They allow a quick assignment of words and pictures and an identification of objects, animals , plants and other objects and thus a simplified determination of their names .

Picture boards were and are often designed for encyclopedias . Image tables can also be found in many specialist dictionaries, e.g. B. on medical topics such as anatomy . If a reference work consists almost exclusively of picture tables, one usually speaks of a picture atlas . Sometimes the picture panels can be found in encyclopedias directly with the corresponding key word such as mushrooms or animals of Australia , sometimes several picture panels are concentrated either in the middle or at the end of a work. Some multi-volume encyclopedias also have a separate or even several volumes of illustrations, e.g. B. the Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers (1751–1772). One illustration that almost every encyclopedia contains is the list of national flags .

Another field of picture boards are the (partly multilingual) picture dictionaries , where picture boards designed according to topics make it easier to find (foreign-language) names for objects. The first German picture dictionaries were published in 1935: Der Große Duden . Picture dictionary of the German language , Verlag Bibliographisches Institut AG in Leipzig, and Der Sprach-Brockhaus. German picture dictionary for everyone , Verlag FA Brockhaus , also from Leipzig.

Traditionally, picture tables can also be found in identification books , e.g. B. for plant identification such as What is blooming there? or the designation of animals such as What is flying there?

In some cases, picture boards are printed in the form of posters and large display boards , which are then displayed in corridors, classrooms or training rooms for training and information purposes.
