Le nouveau Robinson : pour servir à l'amusement et à l'instruction des enfans
A French children's adaptation of the Robinson Crusoe story, drawn from Joachim Heinrich Campe's German original and translated by Auguste-Simon d'Arnex, published in 1788 by A. W. Eggendorffer for young readers. The three small woodcut-style vignettes are ornamental and decorative: a flourish of scrolls and garlands with a flower urn, a draped urn with bundled wheat and doves, and a rustic stone building with a tower and figures beside a path. A designer might borrow the compact tailpiece-style ornaments, the scrolled garland framing, and the simple rural architecture for period-styled borders and dividers.
