De werelddeelen : bewerkt naar Friedrich von Hellwald's die Erde und ihre Völker

Hellwald, Friedrich von, 1842-1892, Berg, Jan Cornelis van den, 1847- · 1879 · Haarlem : J.M. Schalekamp en G. van den Berg · 11 pictures

A Dutch geography book, De werelddeelen, adapted by Jan Cornelis van den Berg from Friedrich von Hellwald's work and published in Haarlem in 1879 for general readers learning world regions. Its pages are grids of small wood-engraved vignettes captioned with numbered place names, showing cities, castles, landscapes, people in regional dress, and street scenes across Europe. A designer could borrow the compact framed-vignette layout, the cream paper tone, and the dense caption-under-image structure for editorial or travel graphics.
