Münchener Bilderbogen 41: [Nro 961-984]

961 · Braun & Schneider · 27 pictures

A German Münchener Bilderbogen, a sheet of hand-coloured lithographic picture panels issued by the Munich publisher Braun & Schneider, probably for children and family readers in the nineteenth century. Its panels show costumed figures in historical dress, from medieval warriors and armoured knights to crowned nobles and horsemen, drawn in bright flat colour. A designer could take from them the period costume silhouettes, layered fabrics, armour and heraldic motifs, and the compact strip-panel layout.
