Der kommende König ..
A German-language religious tract by James Edson White, published in 1899 by Review and Herald and Pacific Press in Battle Creek, Michigan, and Oakland, California, for a readership interested in Second Advent teaching. Its pictures are small black-and-white wood engravings: three warships under sail and steam with rigging and smoke, plus a tropical riverside scene with palms, huts, and a figure in the foreground. A designer could take the crisp hatched line work, the dense typeset German text framing each image, and the late-nineteenth-century naval engraving style.
