Schlachtfest
A German silhouette sheet titled Schlachtfest from 1845, printed as a series of black cut-paper style figures showing a slaughter and butchering scene for a general audience. The pictures show butchers at work, a man with an axe at a scale, pigs being fed, and figures in period dress set against plain backgrounds, which a designer could take as a model for bold silhouette cut-outs and clear narrative sequencing in a row of separate vignettes.
