Die Kugel und die Frösche
A German picture-story sheet from Münchener Bilderbogen, published by Braun & Schneider and drawn by Emil Reinicke in 1881, telling a wordless-looking sequence of frogs and a boy wrestling with a large ball across a grid of small coloured panels with German captions beneath. The panels show frogs in comic poses, pushing, climbing and tumbling around a pale sphere, with simple hand-coloured washes in green, ochre and rose that a designer could borrow for playful narrative layouts and caption-led sequences.
