Samuel Hearne's Reise von dem Prinz von Wallis-Fort an der Hudsons-Bay bis zu dem Eismeere, in den Jahren 1769 bis 1772: Aus dem Englischen übersetzt. Mit Kupfern

Hearne, Samuel, Forster, Johann Reinhold [Bearb.] · 1797 · 1 picture

A German translation of Samuel Hearne's account of his 1769 to 1772 journey from Prince of Wales Fort on Hudson Bay to the Arctic Ocean, edited by Johann Reinhold Forster and published in 1797. The plate shows Dene and Inuit hunting and household equipment engraved in fine line. A designer could take from it the precise, diagrammatic style of 18th-century ethnographic engraving, with objects drawn in flat outline and set in clean, separate arrangements on the page.
