The tales of Peter Parley about Europe : with engravings
The Tales of Peter Parley about Europe is a juvenile travel book written by Samuel Goodrich under the pseudonym Peter Parley, published in Boston in 1828 for young readers. Its small wood engravings show a harbour town skyline with ships, a crowd of figures being led along a road, a scene of people tending a fire by a shore, and a ruined classical building with columns and steps, which give designers compact examples of early nineteenth-century vignette composition.
