Prinz Eugen
A nineteenth-century German illustrated sheet from 1849 by Anton Muttenthaler, showing scenes from the life of Prince Eugene of Savoy, probably for a general readership of popular history. The page is a grid of small engraved vignettes with captions beneath, showing courtly figures in period dress, a rider on a horse, and crowded battlefield scenes with smoke, soldiers and standards. A designer could take from it the dense, narrative layout of tiny framed scenes, with strong black-and-white contrast and lively crowd composition.
