Erste Sammlung merkwürdiger Reisebeschreibungen für die Jugend ; Theil 11 : Mit einem Kupfer
A German travel anthology for young readers, compiled by Joachim Heinrich Campe and published in 1807 by the Schulbuchhandlung, with this volume carrying a single copper engraving. The plate shows a standing woman in profile-facing pose, full figure, with one arm extended outward, wearing layered beaded necklaces, arm bands, a woven waist wrap, and carrying a small basket against a plain ground with a sparse strip of earth. A designer could take the stark outline figure, the dense hatched shading on skin and fabric, and the plain margin-free composition as a model for ethnographic engraving.
