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 · 15 pictures

A Dutch geography book, De werelddeelen, adapted by Jan Cornelis van den Berg from Friedrich von Hellwald's German work and published in Haarlem in 1879 for general readers learning about the world's continents and peoples. Its pages are dense wood-engraved plates of peoples, landscapes and customs, each numbered and captioned, with small vignettes arranged in clusters on the page; a designer could take the compact multi-scene layouts, the figure groupings and the sepia engraved line for period reference.
