Die Weltfahrt des Centurion : eine Geschichte aus dem Seemannsleben : der lernbegierigen Jugend erzählt : Mit 6 Holzschnitten
A German sea-life adventure story for young readers, written by Bruno Hoffmann and published in 1889 by the Norddeutsches Verlags-Institut. Its four pictures are decorative woodcut ornament panels in a Renaissance style, with scrolling acanthus leaves, grotesque sea-creatures, cherubs, and cartouches. A designer could take from them the symmetrical scroll layouts and fleshy foliage that suit borders, headers, and title ornaments.
