De pioniers van de nieuwe wereld #14

Two figures navigate a murky, moss-draped bayou by canoe — a Colonial-era gentleman seated at the bow and a rugged, older companion standing at the stern with a pole — painted with atmospheric depth by cover artist Ersel. This fourteenth volume in the long-running Dutch-language historical series De pioniers van de nieuwe wereld, written by Maryse and Jean-François Charles, plunges readers into the brooding wetlands suggested by the title "Bayou Chaouïs." Published by Glénat in 2003, it's a handsome entry in a series that brings early American frontier life vividly to the page.
