Introduction

Working with the Database

Each picture uploaded to this database contains the following information:

Title - In some editions the illustrations include a title. If no title was added by the publisher, we either assigned a descriptive title or, when applicable, used a title from an older illustration that bears resemblence to the illustration in question.

ID - For structuring purposes, each image was assigned a shorthand ID consisting of the illustrators name, the year, the chapter and the illustration number. (see: Abbreviations)

Book - The (German) title of the publication the illustration appears in.

Year - The year of publication.

Illustrator - "Last name, first name" of the illustrator.

Original Chapter and Chapter in this Edition - Sometimes, the chapter numbering in the German translations differs from the original edition. "Original chapter" refers to the structure of the 1884/1885 release of the novel and places the illustrated event within its corresponding chapter. "Chapter in this Edition" reflects the chapter numbering used in the German translation.

Illustration Number - Since chapters can include multiple illustrations, they are numbered in chronological order.

Tags - The contents of the illustrations are tagged and added to the description. (see: Abbreviations)
