Der Bauer und das Kalb
A German picture-story sheet by Wilhelm Busch, dated 1862, from his Münchener Bilderbogen series, aimed at a general popular audience. Sixteen small hand-coloured panels with rhymed German captions show a farmer struggling to lead a stubborn calf, with a sequence of comic reversals. The panels are loose and quick, with simple ground lines and clear figure silhouettes that a designer could borrow for sequential layouts or caption-led comic strips.
