Wilhelm Isbrands, genannt Bontekoe, Reisen in den indischen Meeren : Unterhaltende und belehrende Schrift für die Jugend ; [mit 1 Stahlstich.]
A German youth adventure book by Philipp Körber, published in 1849 by Verlag von J. Th. Lotzbeck, retelling the voyages of Willem Bontekoe in Indian seas. The single steel engraving shows a ship breaking apart in a storm, with sailors in an open boat hauling against the waves and figures swimming in the foreground. A designer could draw on its dramatic diagonal composition, heavy smoke-dark sky, and rigging silhouettes for shipwreck or sea-peril imagery.
