Johann und Marie oder die zwei verlassenen Kinder, unter den Negern : eine wahrhafte Geschichte für gefühlvolle Herzen
A German children's adventure tale, printed in Bremen in 1830 by J. C. Wölfling, telling of two abandoned siblings among African people for sensitive readers. The frontispiece is a small woodcut of a woman and a child on a rocky shore beside a ship, with a caption naming Johann and Marie with their mother on the sea shore. A designer might take its plain, rough-edged line work and the wrecked-ship shoreline scene as a model for early nineteenth-century castaway imagery.
