Münchener Bilderbogen 3: [Nro 49-72]

1850 · Braun & Schneider · 26 pictures

A Munich broadside sheet of about 1850 from the Münchener Bilderbogen series, published by Braun & Schneider, with numbered woodcut vignettes printed in rows for a popular audience of children and families. The pictures are small, sketchy black-and-white woodcuts of genre scenes, fables and comic episodes, each with a short caption beneath, showing how a series of narrative cuts can be laid out as a modular grid. A designer might borrow the tight multi-panel rhythm, the caption-under-image pairing and the economical line work.
