Der Hase und der Bauer
A German picture-story book by Adolf Oberländer, published in 1876, told in comic-strip panels with rhymed verse captions beneath each scene. The sequence follows a hare and a farmer through a flood, with the scenes shown in black-and-white line drawing for a general reading audience. A designer could take the sequential panel layout, the flat hatched water rendering, and the compact caption-under-image structure as a model for storyboard-style page design.
