Münchener Bilderbogen 43: [Nro 1009-1032]

1009 · Braun & Schneider · 31 pictures

A Münchener Bilderbogen, a single-sheet picture broadsheet of hand-coloured lithographs issued by the Munich publisher Braun & Schneider for a popular German audience in the nineteenth century, here sheet 43 covering numbers 1009 to 1032. The pictures are rotated sideways on the page and show groups of figures in costume: soldiers with rifles and sabres, peasants and townsfolk, and women in long skirts and shawls. A designer could take from them the compact, flat colour of these hand-tinted prints and their clear, repeated silhouettes of uniforms and regional dress.
