Rolando's und seiner Gefährten Reise um die Welt: Ein Lesebuch für die Jugend. Zur Erlernung der nothwendigsten Kenntnisse der Erdbeschreibung und Naturgeschichte. Aus dem Französischen
A German children's reader from 1801, adapted from a French original by Louis François Jauffret and arranged by Jean Risler, teaching geography and natural history through the travels of Rolando and his companions around the world. The single plate is a copperplate engraving of a turbaned traveller gesturing beside a laden camel and a companion, with a French caption beneath reading 'Courage mon ami. Le fardeau que tu portes est un trésor pour la Science.' A designer might take its clean, stiff, early-nineteenth-century engraved line and its dry expedition scene of a camel-borne load.
