Fuhrmannsleben
Fuhrmannsleben is a set of genre prints from 1848, drawn by Ernst Fröhlich and Nikolaus Knilling and published in Munich for a German-reading public interested in carters' daily life. The sheet of small scenes shows carters with wagons, horses, an inn, and a grave, all in dense black-and-white line work. A designer could take from it a compact way of packing several narrative vignettes into one frame, with tight framing and clear silhouettes of horses and carts.
