Werner Kruse (14 December 1910 – 1 September 1994), known by his pen name Robinson, was a German illustrator.

In 1967 he produced a book of ink drawings that show New York City's skyline and neighborhoods in intense detail.

He described it as "an X-ray" style that showed the city's buildings from outside and inside.

A review in New York magazine described the drawings as "scrupulously accurate, down to the tiny tripartite cornices on the brownstones.

"[2] Born in Reichenbrand (Saxony) in 1910 and taking his name from the book "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe, Robinson also made similar books about Paris,[3] Berlin[4] and Tokyo.
