Erste Sammlung merkwürdiger Reisebeschreibungen für die Jugend ; Theil 10 : Mit einem Kupfer

Campe, Joachim Heinrich · 1807 · In der Schulbuchhandlung · 1 picture

A German children's travel anthology from 1807, compiled by Joachim Heinrich Campe and published by the Schulbuchhandlung for young readers. Its single copper engraving shows two standing figures, one with a spear, wrapped in fur-trimmed cloaks and wearing beaded or bead-strung adornment, drawn in fine hatched line against a plain ground with a caption beneath. A designer could take the economical hatching and the ethnographic costume detail as a model for early nineteenth-century explanatory illustration.
