Auf dem Missisippi : Mitteilungen eines Deutschen in Amerika, für die Jugend und das Volk bearbeitet ; mit 4 Abbildungen
An 1859 German book by W. O. von Horn, published by Verlag von Kreidel & Niedner, reporting a German emigrant's accounts of America for young readers and the general public. The single plate shows a man standing on a riverbank in a dramatic scene, with a fiery explosion over the water and two figures lying on the grass in the foreground, rendered in dark, heavily shaded engraving that a designer might borrow for dramatic period narrative compositions.
