Ein Kongo-Neger : Eine Geschichte aus St. Domingo, der Jugend und dem Volke ; mit Farbdruckbildern

Horn, W. O., von · 1901 · Enßlin & Laiblin · 5 pictures

A German youth adventure story, Ein Kongo-Neger, set in Saint-Domingue and published in 1901 by Enßlin & Laiblin, written by W. O. von Horn for young readers and the general public. Its four colour-printed plates show a slave auction scene with overseers and buyers, a crowd with torches and masked figures, a violent confrontation in a plantation room, and a well-dressed young man with a servant holding a child beside a dog, rendered in a lively, theatrical chromolithographic style that a designer might take as a model for narrative staging and period costume.
