Die Ammenuhr
Die Ammenuhr is a German illustrated broadside sheet from 1848, drawn by Anton Muttenthaler and printed in Munich as part of the Münchner Bilderbogen series for children, based on verses from Brentano and Arnim's Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Its nine small framed scenes are captioned with rhyming verse and follow a nurse's daily routine from waking through feeding, washing, and tending a sleeping infant. A designer could take from them the clear, sequential panel layout, the dense caption lettering beneath each vignette, and the warm domestic interiors rendered in hatched black-and-white line.
