Begebenheiten eines französischen Schiffsjungen auf einer unbewohnten Insel, oder, der zwölfjährige Robinson
A German children's adventure novel by Jeanne Sylvie Mallès de Beaulieu, published in 1824 in Switzerland by the Trachslersche Buch- und Kunsthandlung, retelling a castaway story for young readers. The hand-coloured copperplate-style plates show a boy castaway in tropical island scenes with palms, goats, a parrot and a fire, and a designer could draw on their warm earth tones, soft aquatint shading and naive, storybook staging of survival scenes.
