Der junge Rajah : Lebensbilder und Abenteuer aus Indien ; nach geschichtlichen Ereignissen für die reifere Jugend erzählt
Der junge Rajah is an 1887 German adventure book for older youths, written by Karl Müller and published by Enßlin & Laiblin, set in India and drawn from historical events. Its three chromolithographed plates show a colonial officer at a dockside with a jeweled trunk, a kneeling officer before a turbaned court, and a tiger and crocodile at a jungle river with hunters in a tree. A designer could draw on the bold flat colour, dense crowded compositions and exotic costume and landscape of late nineteenth-century German adventure illustration.
