The Castaways: a story of adventure in the wilds of Borneo
A boys' adventure novel by Mayne Reid, published in London in 1870, following shipwrecked castaways through the jungles of Borneo for young Victorian readers. Wood-engraved plates carry captions and page references and set small figures against palm fronds, creepers and apes, while headpieces and tail-vignettes isolate fruit clusters, ferns and trumpet flowers as loose line drawings usable as ornaments or spot art.
