Die Reisen Gullivers im Lande der Zwerge und Riesen : [Jonathan Swift] ; Für die Jugend bearbeitet von J. Grundmann; Mit vielen Illustrationen in Farbendruck

Swift, Jonathan, J., Grundmann · 1895 · Löwensohn · 3 pictures

An 1895 German children's adaptation of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, arranged for young readers by J. Grundmann and published by Löwensohn with colour printed illustrations. The three plates show Gulliver as a giant wading in the sea with a crowd of tiny soldiers on the shore, Gulliver sprawled on the ground while barrels float above a distant town, and a decorative cover with the title banner. A designer could draw on their bold outlines, saturated flat colour and ornate floral borders for storybook or period-style layouts.
