Illustrierte Klassiker #3

Part of BSV Hannover's Illustrierte Klassiker series — "Die spannendsten Geschichten der Weltliterat ur" — this 2021 edition brings the frontier legend Kit Carson to vivid life. Ed Moritz's cover painting plunges you straight into the action: a determined frontiersman on horseback leads a cattle drive through churning river waters, while in the background a covered wagon and a group of Native American riders on horseback charge across the dusty red-mesa landscape. It's a sweeping, panoramic piece that captures the tension and grand scale of the American West with real painterly flair.
