Die Fliege
A German picture-story sheet by Wilhelm Busch, published in 1865, showing the fly tale in a grid of small comic panels on a single page. The sheet has a dry, crowded layout of sixteen framed scenes with short rhyming captions beneath, with a hand-drawn humorous tone and simple cross-hatched shading. A designer might take its panel-grid sequencing and caption-under-image structure as a model for narrative layout.
