Familie Gockelhahn
A German picture sheet from 1894, 'Familie Gockelhahn', by Adolf Holm and printed by Meisenbach, Riffarth und Co in Munich, made as a narrative comic for a general readership. The sheet is a grid of small framed vignettes with rhymed verse captions beneath each one, showing a rooster family in human situations. A designer could take its tidy panel layout, the caption-under-image structure, and the comic animal-as-human characters as models for a storyboard or a satirical series.
