Emil Peschkau

Emil Peschkau was a German author and educator who lived from 1856 to 1930. He is best known today through library and public-domain records that preserve his work, including listings connected with Project Gutenberg and other archival catalogs.

The available sources point to him as a writer whose books were meant to be engaging and readable, especially for younger audiences. Because the easily confirmed biographical record is fairly limited online, it is safest to describe him as a late 19th- and early 20th-century German literary figure whose work has continued to circulate through digitized collections.

A portrait appears on the German Wikipedia page for Emil Peschkau, and a full-resolution version of that image is available from Wikimedia Commons' media servers.
