Ali und Ala, oder: Die kleinen Insulaner : Versuch einer wahrscheinlichen Kulturgeschichte für die Jugend
A German children's book from 1821 by Johann Georg Tobler, published in Zurich by Orell, Füssli und Compagnie, written as a plausible cultural history for young readers. Its engravings show a young European man and woman in a tropical island setting of palms, rocks and distant hills, rendered in fine stipple-like line with soft grey tones. A designer might borrow the quiet, sentimental staging of figures against lush palms and sunrise light, and the orderly hatching used for foliage and rock.
