Allerlei XXII
A German lithographic plate titled Allerlei XXII, printed in 1835, presenting four separate small scenes of everyday life on one sheet, apparently for a general popular audience. The four vignettes show a man and woman with a child pulling a cart in a village, a hunter with a dog and a donkey on a road, men sleeping or resting in snow, and a woman with a parasol and a child beside a vendor at a stall. Designers can take from them the compact four-panel grid, the clean hatched pen line and the small framed vignettes suited to sketchy narrative captions.
