I think he might have been inspired by geological illustrations of the "ideal cross-section of the Earth", which seems to have been common in 19th century Germany. This interpretation also aligns better with what Marx actually does in Capital. 2/5

In Capital vol. 3, Marx writes that he wants to examine capitalism in its "idealen Durchschnitt." This is usually translated as "ideal average," but I believe a more accurate translation would be "ideal cross-section." I think this is a geological metaphor rather than a mathematical one. 1/5

Colorful illustration of a shorthaired ginger tuxedo tabby up on its hind legs, dancing amongst some wildflowers and playing bagpipes. On the ground beside him a mouse and large bee are dancing together.

From Dean’s Mother Goose Book of Rhymes, illustrated by Janet Grahame Johnstone and Ann Grahame Johnstone. This book was published in 1977 but it was a compilation of several volumes from throughout the 70s.
