Blumen auf fremdem Boden : für die heimatliche Jugend gesammelt
Blumen auf fremdem Boden is a German-language collection of stories gathered for young readers at home, compiled by Joseph Pfyffer zu Neueck and printed in 1832 by Gebrüder Räber in Switzerland. The small woodcut-style ship vignettes and the lithographed scene of a helmeted warrior with shield beside a palm tree show how early nineteenth-century book illustration turned distant sea voyages and foreign lands into simple, tidy, dramatic images a designer could borrow for maritime or adventure motifs.
