The works of best-selling author Karl May (1842-1912) have reached a worldwide edition of over 200 million copies today and are available in 42 languages. The great popularity of this writer and the enormous amount of printed products have made the few existing original pieces, such as autographs or drafts for illustrations, extremely valuable. For the first time in the history of the reception of Karl May, collectors, critics and connoisseurs are presented with over 250 original illustrations of the Fehsenfeld illustrated travel stories together with a selection of first editions and autographs. Magnificent gouaches and detailed ink drawings bring to life the heroes and villains surrounding the first-person narrators of his stories.
