James Riley's Schiffbruch : Gefangenschaft und wunderbare Errettung ; eine Erzählung für die heranwachsende Jugend ; nebst 1 Gedicht: Androklus ; mit 2 colorirten Bildern
An 1815 German youth book by James Riley, adapted by Friedrich Philipp Wilmsen and published by A. Bagel, presenting Riley's shipwreck and captivity among desert Africans as a story for young readers, with a poem about Androclus. The two hand-coloured plates show a man kneeling beside a lion in a rocky cave, and Riley's crew from a wrecked ship among seated, enslaved men on a beach. A designer could take the warm, flat hand-coloured palette and the stiff, staged poses typical of early nineteenth-century German juvenile illustration.
