Die Weltumsegelung : Nach Jules Verne für die Jugend bearbeitet von R. Hoffmann; Mit Farbendruck-Bildern nach Aquarellen von Hans Mützel und E[rnst] A[ugust] Röhling

Verne, Jules, Mützel, Hans, Ernst August, Röhling, R., Hoffmann · 1905 · Globus · 7 pictures

A German youth adaptation of Jules Verne's voyage-around-the-world novel, retold by R. Hoffmann and published by Globus in 1905 with colour prints after watercolours by Hans Mützel and Ernst August Röhling. The four pictures show a travelling party in Eastern dress, a tavern scene with two men drinking, a man in checked trousers on a quay by a moored ship, and a richly furnished club room where gentlemen play cards. A designer could take from them the saturated, flat-modelled chromolithograph palette and the dense costume detail of nineteenth-century European adventure illustration.
