Münchener Bilderbogen 27: [Nro 625-648]

625 · Braun & Schneider · 28 pictures

A Münchener Bilderbogen, a sheet of comic woodcut-style picture panels published by Braun & Schneider in Munich in the mid-19th century, aimed at a general popular audience, with numbered sheets of several small scenes each accompanied by a short verse caption. The panels show nineteenth-century German domestic and street humour in lively hatched black-and-white line, with dense figure groups, tilted compositions and bold silhouettes a designer could borrow for comic vignettes, sequential storytelling layouts, or retro caricature styling.
