Kurze Geographie von Asia, Afrika, Amerika und den Südländern: Versuch einer Fortsetzung von Raffs Geographie für Kinder. Mit einer illuminirten Weltkarte
A German geography primer for children, compiled by Georg Christian Raff and published in 1790 as a continuation of his earlier children's geography, with a hand-coloured world map. The two hemispheres are engraved on a plain page, with the Western Hemisphere on the left showing the Americas and the Eastern Hemisphere on the right showing Europe, Africa and Asia in soft green, pink and yellow washes. A designer might take the pale, tinted map-circle layout and the clean engraved lettering as a model for vintage cartographic palettes.
