Münchener Bilderbogen 40: [Nro 937-960]

937 · Braun & Schneider · 30 pictures

A Munich picture-sheet series from Braun & Schneider, numbered 937 to 960, issued in Germany for a popular audience. Its hand-coloured plates show groups of men and women in traditional costume, rotated sideways on the page, with rich embroidery, sashes, fezzes and headwear. A designer could take from them the dense, flat colour and decorative costume detail typical of nineteenth-century ethnographic prints.
