Robinson Crusoe : Mit 111 Holzschnitten

Defoe, Daniel, Böttger, Carl, Heubner, Otto Leonhard · 1859 · George Wigand's Verlag · 105 pictures

A German illustrated edition of Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, published in Leipzig by George Wigand's Verlag in 1859 with 111 woodcuts, aimed at general readers and young people. The pictures are small, loose wood engravings of outdoor scenes with figures in tropical vegetation, shaded with dense parallel hatching and clear silhouettes, a useful model for designers wanting compact narrative vignettes with strong contrast.
