Le cortège
A German-language Bilderbogen, a sheet of printed coloured pictures from 1891, showing wedding or church procession scenes in costume alongside a large Gothic church, probably for children or family use. The pictures show small hand-coloured figures in regional dress arranged in rows, with a rose-windowed church drawn in flat blue-grey and ochre, which a designer could take as a source for naive folk-style layouts, modular grids of figures, and muted period palettes.
