Der Frosch- und Mäusekrieg
A German illustrated broadsheet from 1876 by Eduard Ille, titled Der Frosch- und Mäusekrieg, a comic battle-story sheet for a general readership, printed as a page of six hand-coloured panels. The pictures show crowded mock-heroic combat between frogs and mice, with armoured warriors, spears, shields and flying debris rendered in busy, exaggerated detail that a designer could draw on for playful period narrative layouts.
