Seifenblasen
Seifenblasen is a German picture-sheet of comic sequences by Lothar Meggendorfer, published in 1876 and aimed at a general audience of children and adults. The single-sheet page holds a grid of small lithographed vignettes, each showing a figure blowing soap bubbles with captions beneath in German and bright comic exaggeration. A designer could borrow its tiered panel grid, its caricatured poses of blowing, dodging and chasing bubbles, and its short captioned storytelling.
