Robinson Crusoe's Abenteuer und Schicksale : Aus dem Englischen. Mit colorirten Bildern

Defoe, Daniel · 1853 · August Riese's Verlag · 14 pictures

A hand-coloured German edition of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, published in 1853 by August Riese's Verlag, aimed at young readers in German-speaking lands. The pictures are lithographed comic scenes, rotated on the page, with flat bright colour washes showing shipwreck, island life and armed castaway episodes. A designer might take their loose outline drawing and simple palette of blue, green, ochre and orange as a model for narrative vignettes.
