Der gestiefelte Kater
A German paper theatre sheet (Bilderbogen) titled Der gestiefelte Kater, printed in 1895 for children to cut out and stage Puss in Boots. It shows a row of hand-coloured cut-out characters, with labels beneath each figure, in a flat folk-print manner. A designer could take its simple, bold costume silhouettes and its clear arrangement of characters in a line for storyboard or character-lineup layouts.
