Feuerlärm
A single-sheet German comic print from 1879 by Lothar Meggendorfer, titled Feuerlärm, showing a fire brigade turnout in a street scene. The sheet is a loose page of caricature panels rather than a bound book, aimed at a general German public. The pictures are busy, dense black-and-white line drawings of firemen running, hauling ladders, and pulling hoses and pumps, with onlookers crowding the margins; a designer could borrow the energetic crowd-and-chaos layout, the rolling pump carts, and the exaggerated movement lines.
