Der Bär
Der Bär is a German picture sheet from the Münchener Bilderbogen series, drawn by Ernst Fröhlich in 1849 for a general readership. Nine small framed scenes show a bear hunt and a performing dancing bear, with a caption beneath each. A designer could take from it the compact sequential layout of nine panels, the crisp black line work, and the clear narrative staging of figures in rural settings.
