Münchener Bilderbogen 28: [Nro 649-672]

649 · Braun & Schneider · 27 pictures

Münchener Bilderbogen was a German series of single-sheet illustrated broadsides printed in Munich by Braun & Schneider from the 1850s onward, sold to families and children; this sheet is numbered 649 to 672 and collects small comic and moralising scenes. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcut-style vignettes with short German verse captions beneath each, showing domestic, street and musical humour; a designer could draw on their compact panel layouts, expressive caricatured figures and the way each small scene is framed by text.
