Le Robinson Suisse, ou, Naufrage d'une famille suisse dans une île déserte

Wyss, Johann David, Lapierre, Jules · 1834 · Audin · 7 pictures

This is a French adaptation of Johann David Wyss's Swiss Family Robinson, published by Audin in 1834 with Jules Lapierre credited as translator or adapter, and held by the Swiss children's media institute SIKJM. The four plates are rotated sideways on the page and show shipwreck, animal and domestic scenes in black-and-white line engraving, with a designer able to draw on their clear staging of castaway groups against tropical scenery and their economical hatching.
