Münchener Bilderbogen 3: [Nro 49-72]

1850 · Braun & Schneider · 25 pictures

Münchener Bilderbogen is a series of single-sheet illustrated broadsheets published in Munich by Braun & Schneider in 1850, sold as cheap popular prints for children and families. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcut-style scenes arranged in grids of around a dozen per sheet, each with a few lines of German verse beneath. A designer could take from them the compact, rhythmic layout of a sequence of captioned vignettes, with simple figures and gestures that read clearly at small size.
