Münchener Bilderbogen 38: [Nro 889-912]

889 · Braun & Schneider · 16 pictures

A Münchener Bilderbogen, a sheet of several small woodcut-style pictures printed in Munich by Braun & Schneider, most likely for children and popular readers in the German-speaking world, numbered in a series. The sheets show costumed figures in rows: groups of people in regional dress, a horse-riding procession, and ornate rococo-framed scenes with verses printed beside them. A designer could take from them the compact tiled layout of many small framed scenes, the crisp black linework of the figures, and the decorative scrollwork borders.
