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

Hellwald, Friedrich von, 1842-1892, Berg, Jan Cornelis van den, 1847- · 1879 · Haarlem : J.M. Schalekamp en G. van den Berg · 6 pictures

A Dutch-language geography book, De werelddeelen, adapted by Jan Cornelis van den Berg from Friedrich von Hellwald's work and published in Haarlem in 1879 for a general reading public learning about the continents. Its pages are dense multi-panel wood engravings of peoples, animals and landscapes, with numbered captions beneath; a designer could take from them the crowded panel layout, the sepia ink tone, and the ethnographic subject grouping.
