Homer's Odyssee : Bearbeitet von Ferdinand Schmidt ; Mit 52 Illustrationen von G. Bartsch
Ferdinand Schmidt adapted Homer's Odyssey in German, with 52 illustrations by G. Bartsch, published in 1863 by Hugo Kastner & Co for young readers. The engravings show classical Greek figures in simple line work, with clothed and draped bodies, interiors with urns and hearths, and a sky of clouds where gods gather, so a designer could draw on their ancient costume and staging for period scenes.
