Sneewittchen

Vogel, Hermann · 1889 · 1 picture

This is a Münchener Bilderbogen, a single-sheet German colour picture broadsheet printed in Munich in 1889 by Hermann Vogel for children, retelling the Snow White fairy tale. The sheet is a framed ornamental panel with a large central scene of a glass coffin in a forest, surrounded by small vignettes of the tale's episodes. A designer could take from it the dense, decorative frame of Gothic-style borders and the rich green and gold palette used to fill a narrow arched format.
