Der schwarze Robinson : Abenteuer eines Negerknaben auf den Südsee-Inseln ; eine Erzählung für die reifere Jugend ; mit colorirten Bildern
A German youth adventure novel, Der schwarze Robinson, written by Wilhelm Fricke and published in 1877 by Verlag von Jul. Bagel, a tale of a Black boy shipwrecked on South Sea islands meant for older young readers. Its four hand-coloured plates show a boy on a ship's rigging, a boy poling a raft, a boy with a spyglass watching a steamship, and a fight with spears and muskets in the forest, each captioned in German; a designer could take the flat, saturated colour blocks, bold figure silhouettes, and the dramatic diagonal compositions.
