Eine Land- und Luftpartie
A German comic broadsheet titled Eine Land- und Luftpartie, drawn by Emil Reinicke and printed by Meisenbach, Riffarth und Co in 1886, presenting a picture story in rows of small panels with verse captions beneath each one. It was made for a general German readership as satirical entertainment. The pictures show a day trip gone wrong, with figures in a balloon, a hot-air balloon tangled in trees, a ditch-side mishap and a crowded cart, and a designer could take from them the clear sequential panel layout and the dense, hand-drawn crosshatched line style of late nineteenth-century humour prints.
