Der gestiefelte Kater
A coloured 1853 German picture-sheet by Moritz von Schwind, illustrating the fairy tale Der gestiefelte Kater (Puss in Boots) for a German readership. Its main scene shows a castle with a king's procession and a cat in boots at the wall, while small framed vignettes run across the top edge and a harvest landscape fills the background. A designer could take the layered sequence of framed tale-episodes above a single central scene, with bold flat colour and busy crowded figures.
