Otto von Kotzebue's neue Reise um die Welt in den Jahren 1823, 24, 25 und 26 : mit 4 Kupfern

Kotzebue, Otto, von, Dietzsch, Karl Friedrich · 1823 · Kayser · 4 pictures

This 1823 German travel account by Otto von Kotzebue, published by Kayser, records his voyage round the world in 1823 to 1826 for a German-reading audience. Its four copper engravings are rotated on the page and show Pacific islanders in dense crowds, a figure on steps, a seated European group indoors, and a thatched hut with palms beside a shoreline scene. A designer might take their fine hatched line work and the tropical island settings as period reference for maritime or exotic themes.
