Der böse Maler
Der böse Maler is a German picture-story sheet by Lothar Meggendorfer, published in Munich in 1882 for children, printed as a grid of small coloured panels with rhyming verse beneath each one. The pictures show a naughty boy and his companions mischievously daubing paint on walls, fences and a bench while an adult painter works nearby, with a designer able to take the clear, sequential panel layout and bold flat colour blocks.
