Gullivers Reisen und Abenteuer im Lande der Zwerge und Riesen : [Jonathan Swift] ; Für die Jugend bearbeitet von Franz Kamberg. Mit 6 Farbdruckbildern nach Original-Aquarellen von C[arl] Offterdinger

Swift, Jonathan, Franz, Kamberg, Offterdinger, Carl · 1908 · Loewes Verlag Ferdinand Carl · 7 pictures

A German youth adaptation of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, arranged for young readers by Franz Kamberg and published by Loewes Verlag in 1908 with six colour prints after watercolours by Carl Offterdinger. The pictures show Gulliver as a giant among tiny people in Lilliput, and a designer could take from them the flat, saturated chromolithograph palette of early twentieth-century children's books, with clear figure-on-ground compositions and ornamental sky and town backdrops.
